You will be missed my sweet friend. You were the best shopper, ball player and bowler I’ve ever met. How I loved your red hair and collection of sunglasses. You were a shining light and will always hold a special place in my heart. Love & miss you Jille. Margaret & Russ - you both are in my thoughts and prayers along with my deepest sympathies. Jille was loved by many

Jille, such a precious soul, bundled up in a fiesty red-haired girl with sparkling green eyes and a smile that radiated pure joy. Jille was magical. When she smiled, she meant it with every fiber of her being and sent her joy rippling out to others. It was absolutely impossible to be the recipient of that smile and not share in that feeling of joy. Her death leaves a hole in this world, but the ripples she created in it will live on long after the sadness & tears. Fly high, Jille.

There are no words I can string together to express the impact Jille has had on my life. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to call Jille my friend. Margaret and Russ I am heartbroken for, and hope peace finds them soon. The first night we met, Jille was crowned at the Valentine dance. This was just a glimpse into so many fun memories to be made in the years to come. Her and I would load up in my Subaru and take off on adventures to the mall, the park to walk under trees, go swimming, see her dad jam out on Wednesday nights, or to just hang out. Even though life took me away from daily life with Jille, the light in life she shared with me I cherish daily. Margaret and Russ, thank you for sharing your incredible daughter with me, and thank you for demonstrating an incredible strength I feel so privileged to have witnessed.

I wish I had a photo of Jille when she was in my classroom to post. The image is strong in my memory. Jille was one of my favorite students.
You were my favorite parents! The denim family was special for me. You made Jille’s life meaningful! I wish I could be there for the services. We are in Richmond taking care of our grandson! God bless Jille.

Jilleen was a happy girl, who loved to be around others in Special Olympics, rather it was bowling, baseball, dancing or just hanging out. Jilleen brought such a joy to everyone she touched or was around. Jilleen enjoyed going to Halloween dances and dressing up, she was such a pleasure to be around and adored her parents, she will be highly missed by her Special Olympics Family and friends and her intermediate family. What a great girl, chris and I will miss her.

Russ and Margaret,
I met your angel 20 yrs ago. She was with Russ as often was the case during the day. I have been in awe of you both and the profound love and sacrifice you made. Russ always said Jille saved him and taught him how to have true humility. He said every day with Julie was a miracle. What a shining example.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both. I will never forget Julie and her shining light.
