Jill was a volunteer in my library while her boys were in elementary school. Her love for her boys was abundant and clear. I enjoyed our conversations about our kids and felt so connected to her in her undying dedication to her children. I enjoyed watching her walk across the parking lot when she picked up her kids after school with her arms lovingly and playfully draped around each boy. They always looked like they wanted to be there, not just cause they loved her but because she was fun. Nick and Isaac, I send my deepest sympathy but always remember, your mom's love will fill you with every breath you take.

With my deepest sympathy and love,
