“My thoughts and prayers are with sweet Jillian’s family at this very difficult time. Jillian had the most beautiful smile that would light up a room. I met Jillian a few years ago as an Educational Assistant. She was an incredibly sweet gal! She had a way of making you smile every time you saw her!! May her memories live on forever in the hearts of everyone who had the chance to meet her 💕 Angela O’Connell”
