My sincerest condolences to Jill's family. A quick Jill story: In winter 1989 I was living alone (and lonely) in Florida. Friends at Mingles bar decided to call me and I talked with Jill on the phone. She followed up with a Christmas card and a note to cheer me up. She was always thinking of others, ready to listen and quick with a smile. Every time I would run into her in Williston I would think back to that sweet gesture and how much it meant to me at the time. She will be missed.
Penny Groth (Williston , ND)

I was so very shocked and sad to hear of Jill’s passing. I knew Jill since high school. I will cherish the many many years of softball we played together. Both as teammates and rivals. She taught us how to make “blacktail sleugh” in the parking lot of the softball fields. And we all took turns swirling that tin can around until frost developed on the outside of the can!! Then it was “ready “. She was a genuine friend, had an awesome smile, and was so very funny!!! She always had a great Jill hug every time I saw her. And one day we will meet again on that diamond in the sky!! RIP Jill. My prayers are with the family.
Randy Losey (Las Animas, Colorado)

To all the family and friends of Jill. This is the most shocking news I have heard fro a long time. Jill always had such a bright smile and laugh that could brighten and light up the world. You could go years with out talking and then see her and the welcome hug and smile you received and picked up where you left off years prior. So many good memories of "those girls" on summer trips to Williston. May the many memories help ease the pain in the days ahead fro all of Jill family and friends. RIP Jill, till we meet again.

In reading through this guestbook, almost everyone mentions Jill’s smile, she always seemed to be happy and carefree. It makes me sad to think that she struggled with depression and there are so many people that loved and admired her so very much. Rest in God’s peace, Jill! To her family - gain strength with each hug you receive and with every prayer offered up in your name!

Every once in a while, a life is given to us that allows us to see more than our ordinary, everyday world that seems boring if not totally beige in color. That life was Jill. She gave our lives a much needed boost of color, being brilliant to those of us who knew her. She challenged our ordinary days with a joy, a joke, or the much needed hug. She allowed us to think beyond our traditional boundaries. She lived her life as she desired thus giving us a reason to be happy or to think in a new way. She brought us life and joy, but most importantly gave us color in our lives. We are not given many people like Jill in our lives, but it was an honor to have her in my life. I will cherish the color she has given to my life as she has now become a blessed memory. May her memory last as long as the rock that I will place on her final resting place, knowing that the memory of her the form a pebble will last longer than I will be alive.
