We did not know my second cousin well, but did know that she was a very special person. We had many special times with her family at "Grant Park" on Sunday afternoons and holidays. We wish to send sympathy to her family and friends.

My heartfelt sympathy to you all. It has been ages since I have seen Jill yet my heart brightens with past memories we shared so many years ago. I went to school with Jill and spent many spring and summer days on and off the softball field with Jill. So many fun times that bring a smile to my face. So sorry for your loss!

We are deeply saddened to hear of Jill's death. When I look at her picture I can hear hear laugh. Though we didn't see each other often it was always a pleasure to catch up on each others lives when we did. Thoughts and prayers to all of you from all of us in the Heggesta Family.
