Remembering Jillian, her laughter, smile and warmth. A beautiful soul who is (I know) watching over her mom, Wendy,  who’s courage and strength this year was amazing to see and inspiring.  We love and miss you Jillian, and will always be in our hearts. Laurey and Jayney 💜💜

It’s hard to believe you’re gone, Jillian. We grew up together, learned together and  were inseparable as little girls. We had our friend group which included you, Tatyana and myself. You were my best friend and will always be my best friend in my heart. Life is such a beautiful thing to appreciate every day, and will remember you always. You’re at peace and resting in heaven and you will always be in our hearts. I miss and love you Jillian. 

Dear Jillian,
Even though we had mever met in person, I feel I know you. Over the years, Mom and I had many talks, mostly bout you and Sam. We would often laugh about how similar the guys were.  We had hoped to come to Florida and spend time with you. Your life was not in vain- you left an indelible mark on the people that you touched.  In time, these memories, these  moments, will be a comfort  to them. May G-d had hold you in his loving arms and grant you peace.

Jillian, you were a special young woman that I was glad to know through work and personally also . You came into work with a great willing desire and a positive smiling face and you humbly learned to work hard and be the best you could be and I valued that very much. You learned so much about yourself and others and learned to build on yourself better and better by the day and we all got to know you more. It saddens me to think life was too short for you and there was so much ahead for you. You will be in my heart and thoughts and now knowing you are at peace in heaven . In God’s love. Missing you , Love Dyan and family. 

Jillian, you will always be remembered as a loving, kind, and beautiful young woman. You and Jayney were such good friends when you were little, and have many wonderful memories of the two of you.  You were always so happy. (Your first sleepover was at our house.) Although we lost touch over the years,  we will remember you with love and friendship.  Jayney and I were both so sad when we heard the news. God bless you sweet Jillian and rest in your new heavenly home. 

Jillian, you were a kind, caring and beautiful person. Seeing you was always a highlight of our trips to Florida. It saddens me to know that we will never see your smile or feel the warmth of your embrace, the world is darker place without you. We take solace knowing you are at peace but we will miss you forever. Love, Craig and Kara.

Jillian,  
We feel robbed of being able to see the woman you were becoming. You were taken too soon from us. Your mother loved you unconditionally and was incredibly proud of the young woman you were. We will miss our dinners out at LaVernda and Peking Duck during our visits. We hope you know how much you were loved and will be missed. Say hi to Jill and Grandpa for us! 
Love,
Aunt Tami, Uncle Chris, Jenna, and Lauren

Jillian, you are a beautiful and sensitive soul. You are loved by your family and the many friends that surrounded you. You were definitely taken from Earth to soon and we will never know why. They always have said that “only the good die young“ and that is true here. You’ll be missed by so many and thought of every day. You touched the lives of so many and your bright smile will surely be missed. You will join your name sake Aunt and grandpa and watch down on us as we all think of you and remember all the memories of you while we are here on earth.  Rest in peace, you truly are an angel! 

Dearest Jillian, I know we didn’t know each other very long, but in the short time that we knew each other I have found that you had an amazing heart and would do anything for anyone. You were an amazing young lady taken way to soon. I will sadly miss working with you! You were always kind and genuine! Rest In Peace sweet angel, Fly your wings high love!! My heart goes out to all your family and friends!! You will be missed.... Tina

Pretty much every day for the last 10 years of sisterhood ! You where the most amazing best friend I could have every asked for. Love you Jill  will miss you so much !!!

Although our relationship was never as close and tight as I hoped it would be you were always in my thoughts and the sunshine of my life.
I always dreamed that one day we would be able to form a tighter bond and mend our relationship, unfortunately we will never have that chance to do so here on earth but hopefully we can do it when we meet in heaven.
You are so absolutly beautiful, talented and intelligent and unfortunately you were never given the opportunity to shine to your fullest potential because you were taken by god at such a young age.
Rest in peace my beautiful angel.

Jillian you were my best friend, my sister. When I met you I knew nobody in the state of Florida and you not only introduced me to people but stuck by me through so much. So kind loving forgiving just wanting the same in return. You could call me at any time and I’d answer and you did the same for me. We had such countless memories that I truly will never forget. I’ll always love and miss you. Be thinking of you always. I’m glad you are up there with John now the one person you missed the most and wanted. Please watch over me and Simon and your mom and friends. We are all so lost without you. I still check my phone everyday in hopes this is a bad dream. Sleep in the sweetest peace. 

Sending hugs and love from Catskill, wish I could come and cook you something. I will keep you in my prayers. Wishing you strength to get through these tough days, and healing light.  -Ami
