Jill was born the day before I was and so we were both in the nursery of Tacoma General at the same time. However, we did not actually meet until we were 11 years old. The mutual friend who introduced us long ago lost touch with us both, but it seems she served a special purpose by starting us on a friendship that would last 60 years. Jill understood some things that no one else did. Even though she experienced a good deal of pain in various forms, she focused on others and was thoughtful and generous. She truly cared, as she so often said and wrote in the notes and cards she would send. I am so grateful to have been a part of her life and her mine for all these years. I love her and miss her so very much.
