Nathan, Kristy, family and friends, I am so terribly sorry for the loss of Jill (Big J) She was a very special woman that I am so happy I was blessed to know her. We go way back to our younger years and she’s always been an exceptional person. She is loved and will be missed by so many.

Jill was a beautiful soul. She could talk to you as sweet as honey or as heated as fire. That depended on you. She was funny, caring and loving. I watched her and a few others grow up on Washington St. Always thought a lot of her. ROH Jill. You will be missed doll. Prayers going up for her family.

This is hard for me to set here and write as I still want to wake up and this all be a bad dream sis. I miss you so much. I miss are calls and text and you telling me that you love me, and you want me to come see you. I will never forget the last thing you told me sis. and that was when i told you the day I got the job back working on the streets as a cop you told me that you are well and was always going to worry about me because you are my big sister, and I am you baby brother.
