Jill.,
We just found out that you passed away.  We heard you were ill, but so so upset that you are gone.  8355 Austin Street bldg will never be the same again.  You were a good neighbor and friend.  Now at least you are with your mom, who I know you missed terribly.
Heaven just got a new angel!  Love, Sheila and Eddie

I had the pleasure of working with Jill at Virtuoso.  She had a wonderful sense of humor that always made me laugh and smile.  Where she came up with some of these things I will never know :)  It was fun to talk about animals as her love for them was so evident and a true passion.  I am happy she found her love Rob of recent years and so fun to follow along on their adventures on FB.  Rest in Love my friend, you will be missed.

Dearest Jill. You exemplified what it means to be a good person. Kind, patient, funny, and a lover of animals and nature. May you rest in eternal peace with Turner by your side. Much love. EJL
My heartfelt condolences to Jill's family and partner Rob.

Dear Jillicita,

God has taken you too soon. I'll always remember the many fun times we had at Virtuoso and a few not so fun at Royal Olympic. I'll miss you.  Rest in Peace now with your Mother and Father.
Love, 
 May Lou Muldowney

I’ll always remember Jill for our love of animals and our trip to best friends animal sanctuary. Also her laugh that always made me laugh. Rest in peace Jill. Love you!

Jill. You and I were finally the loves of each other’s lives. I’ve been the wonderfully fortunate man who had front row center seats to the most delightful human being my world has ever known. Jill and I shared so many different versions of love - our communication was a gift - it was always done in a way that really helped both of us become better people. It was always so cool when we acknowledged that in each other.,

You’ll always remain my eternal true love, Jill Elaine Kaufman…

it took us 60 and 61 years for us to find our soulmates and we knew right away. Everybody loved Jill - every friend and family member embraced her and how could you not? She was so good to meet and talk to and brilliantly always able to show a bit of her unique self and leave people with a memory. I just so respected Jill - so much more than just the term “girlfriend” - Jill was my biggest influence and inspiration. I will love you forever. my wonderful sweetheart. And I’ll be there for your family as equally, I believe we all wish to keep you alive in our hearts.,I will buy apricot Hamantaschen and wish we were still getting crumbs everywhere..

My beautiful sister. You are a ray of sunshine on a rainy day. I will remember all the good times, the laughter, and the not so good times that we got through together. I love you forever and even longer than that.

I know you are our angel now watching over all of us. You are with mommy Ginny and your father. You are with all the other people in your life that went to heaven before you too. May you be comforted to know that you will forever be thought of under the night sky looking at the stars with each star being a little glimpse into heaven. You will also be with us under the warm sun on a beautiful spring day. 

Rest In Peace Jill. Love and Hugs and Kisses Darling, Carolyn and our entire family.

I had the sincere pleasure of working with Jill at Virtuoso. Even though she was across the country from my physically, she was one of those laid back souls that made doing your job more enjoyable. I'll forever cherish the memories we shared together. Fly high, my dear friend.

I had the pleasure of working with Jill while at Virtuoso and she was always so Incredibly kind and thoughtful. She was such a gentle soul. Her light will be missed in this world.

I worked with Jill for many years and enjoyed her hysterical sense of humor and her love of her family, including her pets.
So happy she eventually found someone to share her life with. It was a special one.
