I am so sorry to hear about Jill's passing. I went to school with Jill in Munster and was always amazed at what an incredible gymnast she was. From early on, I just enjoyed watching her capability with gymnastics and dream that I could one day, also, carry out those feats. Of course, Jill was far more advanced and I ultimately settled for enjoying and appreciating her talent. I am so sorry that she had to leave this world so soon.
