You will be deeply missed, but your kindness, laughter, and beautiful soul will never be forgotten.

Jilly, you have such a beautiful soul, smile and sense of humour. I still remember just before Thao and Scott’s wedding when you asked if you could be my mother-in-law as well, which I gladly accepted. Rest in peace, Jilly, and I hope there is plenty of pink where you are 💕 xx

My friendship with Jilly was very unique, we entered each other’s lives myself as her cleaner and jilly as my employer☺️ how very quickly that changed and we became friends, we laughed at things that other people may find strange, I enjoyed visiting jilly every Wednesday and sometimes during the week when we went for a drive had lunch and a sneaky wine. We often spoke about our grandchildren what they were doing what sports they were playing and spent time looking at photos of them that gave us both a lot of pleasure. When tragedy struck my life, Jilly was there for me. All it did was strengthen our friendship. Jilly my very dear friend I am going to miss my long storybook text messages from you when I read them. They made me laugh. You always signed off by saying goodbye old bird. Your passing has left a huge hole in my life. I will think of you often with a huge smile on my face all my love always till we meet again. Rest easy jelly. 🌸💖
