We are grateful to have so many cherished memories of Auntie Jill, may she rest in peace. All our love to Dave, Lisa and Leah at this very sad time xxxx

Jill, when i think of you i think of horses. your love of horses, you learning to ride, I think of you staying at our house in Devon. Beaches, moorland, Halcyon days indeed. Sweet heart i pray for you and wish you peace, You were there for my brother Paul when things were tough for us when we were kids, you have been a light to so many people . a heart truly for others. For that I thank you I don't know the words to say to your dear family, so i will put these words down in the hope that your loves ones will find comfort and solace in them. Well, I'm tired and so weary, But I must go along, Till the Lord Comes and calls me away Well the Morning is Bright and the Lamb is the Light, And the night, Night is as far as the Day There will be peace in the Valley For me some day There will be peace in the Valley for Me , Oh Lord I Pray There'll be No Sadness, No Sorrow, No Trouble I'll see There will be peace in the Valley for me. Until we all meet again in the great beyond. God bless and give your Auntie Joanie a hug from me, xx

Rest in peace Auntie Jill.. Love and thoughts are with you as you embark on your final journey. I am sure my Dad, your big brother is waiting with opened arms for you ❤

My dearest friend Jill. I was so hoping that we would meet again but unfortunately that was not to be! You had such a big heart and your's was always an open door, ready to welcome everyone.......I always felt like family! You showed me such true friendship whilst I was in New Zealand, especially when on my own, before Ian joined me. Then he and I became friends with you and Dave and enjoyed some lovely times together, especially when you returned here to the UK! I have missed you so much and when were messaging in the last few weeks before ypur operation, I was really hoping your fighting spirit would get you through and I could see you next year when we hoped to return to New Zealand. You gave it your all.....not letting go, as I know you did not want to leave your family...your main focus in life...but, alas, Jill, your body just could not cope. Now, just Rest In Peace, as you so deserve. I love you my dear Jill xxxx

I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to say goodbye, I miss you and I love you. Thank you for being the best Nan I could ever wish for.

I have no words to describe the emptiness I feel but take comfort in that your not in pain anymore and that we all got to be with you in your final hours. I feel so privileged that you got to be my mother. God knew what he was doing when he chose you. I am going to miss our little chats and disagreements. And you were generally right which I don't like to admit. I'm going to miss so many things and of course Im going to miss your cuddles and then laughing over the dog because she got jealous. I promise I will take good care of her. I love you so much mum and know I will see you again.

Dear Auntie Jill Thank you for being there for me , even when you were overseas. I will treasure the messages you sent me forever . You never did judge a book by its cover and you never took sides. I remember when I was younger you let me stay with you at weekends . You helped me put on a surprise 25th wedding party with auntie Gloria for mum and dad I remember you saying to me , if I was ever in trouble I could always come to you . I remember one Weekend at yours I was a little tipsy and I legged it up your garden and fell over, I remember you and leah taking me to A and E early hours of the morning with a very bad ankle ( crutches couldn't drive) and saying your mum and dad's gonna kill me lol. Obviously that wouldn't of happened. It's so sad that you have gone, but you have touched many people with your love and caring nature and that's what you will be remembered for . Especially with the children who just needed love . I will have lots of fond memory's with you , but the main one will be and I will chuckle , is driving nans old blue escourt with flashing lights in the back window, playing that doctor who song . We were lucky to have you in our lives , especially growning up and when we were developing into young adults . Every time I drive past England's Lane I think of you guys. Anyway take care up there , say hi to everyone for me and I hope we do meet again . Lots and lots of love Rachael

Mum, not a day has gone by that you are not missed. You saw beauty in everything in life; you were a very simple minded person who never judged a book by it's cover and that is why you were loved by so many people. You were and will continue to be the most amazing mum a girl could have - we might not have been rich in money, but know that we won the lottery time and time again with the love that you showed both myself and Leah, time and time again. Rest in heaven Mum, you are no longer in pain and I bet enjoying being in the company of your parents and brother. I feel peace knowing that you are looking over as all. Will Love you forever and a day xxxx
