Grandma,
You are missed very much already! I’m so lucky and so happy that I got the pleasure of knowing you. You always knew how to put a smile on my face and get a good laugh out of me, just as you did everyone else! I’m very thankful for the relationship that I was able to form with you over the years. I will cherish all of the memories that I have of you and I will never forget the good times that we all had together! Rest in peace grandma we love and miss you! Please watch over all of us!

Hey Ma, you were a worthy adversary and the best mother in law a guy could ask for. You’ve left a wonderful legacy and I’m so happy that your family will live on knowing what a wonderful person you were. We will all miss you! Rest in Peace

John

Mom not a day will go by that I will not think about you. You gave your whole family unconditional love and support. You came to all of  the important events in my life and made me the man I am today.  I was your favorite som only due to the lack of competition. You were the best mother and grandmother in the world. I will always miss you. Thanks for everything . I know that you will be looking over your family from heaven. I can't wait to see you again. I will always love you.

I am forever thankful to have had a grandmother in my life who watched me grow up to become an adult, cheered me up when I needed healing, and even sneaking me sweet treats before meals. Grandma has taught me to never be ashamed of what I may want to accomplish in my life, as well as to treat others with kindness from the heart. She and I were able to share very fond memories, like going out to breakfast with her other grandsons and opening presents under the Christmas tree for the holidays. If I could relive those moments with grandma, I’d do it in a heartbeat, over and over again. She will forever be looking over me and all her kids, grandkids, and great grandchild. Rest easy grandma and I love you always and forever.



From your grandson,

Adam

Grandma was one of the first people to welcome me into the family and for that, I am forever grateful. My favorite memory of Grandma would be every time she would see me before Gavin had proposed, she would always sing Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” telling Gavin to “put a ring on it.” She always put a smile on my face. Her memory will forever live on and we will make sure to tell the next generations about Jilly bean! My love always.

Grandma and I were always going to the movies, it was our thing. Any new action movie that came out, we saw in theaters. I loved it and looked forward to our movie dates. One day in 7th grade I asked if my best friend Kyle could come, grandma of course allowed it, so the 3 of us went off to see “Taken 2”. After we got our candy and popcorn and we were walking to sit down Grandma kept saying that Kyle had too much popcorn and that he didn’t need the XL. And Kyle as a middle school kid denied the excess popcorn allegations. Then as we finally arrive to our seats and are getting ready to sit down, Kyle drops his massive bucket of popcorn all over the floor and then when attempting to pick it up, he slammed his head on the movie theater seat. I have still never heard grandma laugh the way she did when that happened. It is something we talked about time time again and it forever branded my best friend Kyle as “Popcorn Boy” to my loving grandma. I will cherish these memories forever and I will forever miss my sweet Jillybean. Rest in peace I love you forever ❤️

Our matriarch, Queen JillyBean and the best grandma in the world. Everyone who knew her loved her. Thank you for 30 years of the best kind of friendship. Your humor, love and sass set you aside from all the rest- you broke the mold. Thank you for waiting for the baby’s arrival - how you always promised me you would. I find comfort in knowing you are at peace and will be watching over all of us everyday. We love you grandma. 
P.S- I hope they had a Carmelo bar waiting for you up there. XO

Mom,  
When I was younger, you used to tell me that you were the best friend that I would ever have.  It took me a long time to realize how true that statement was.  Thank you so much, for everything.  Nobody is perfect, ....but you were the best.    I love you.  Joy

We love you and we’ll all miss your wonderful spunk. You gave us so much that we will never forget. The memories, the laughs, the hugs, the goodies. God bless. 

Love, 

Your favorite son-in-law

Jim

Waking up early to watch you play Farm Town and eating S’mores Pop Tarts for breakfast… visiting Grandma’s house was so special. I love you now and forever and I’ll look forward to when we meet again. Keep a close eye on us Jilly Bean🤍

Cheers to the woman you can thank for my personality (take that as you wish) thanks for always dishing out the sass and teaching us that laughter is the best medicine. Love you always G xoxo Krissy aka PITA

If you know me, you know what she meant to me. My sassy, hilarious, firecracker of a bestie .. Our bond was so special all the way to the end. I wouldn’t trade our moments together for anything.. My favorite memory is you being one of the very first people I told I was pregnant. Despite you being so forgetful in the end, you never forgot that. You were so happy that I was having a baby girl. I hope she has your spunk and your spirit. I love you forever, I like you for always, as long as i’m living, your baby i’ll be. Rest in the sweetest peace Grandma, I’ll miss you til I see you again and I love you ‘very much’ ❤️

I am so many fond and funny memories of time spent with my friend Jill and Pat. Janet and I went on cruises, trips to Branson, Charleston and Savannah, Newport, and others I probably forgot. When we would get together in NY or Florida I knew the night wouldn't end until I would laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes. I know Jill is in a better place with Janet either playing cards or Mexican train. One thing for sure they are talking about their Kids and Grands.  Although I cannot be with you today, you know my heart and prays are with you.  - Bill Mulligan

I will always. remember all the good timeswehad. On our travels. I will miss you.  rest in peace my. friend.

To my wonderful Mom I will miss you everyday of my life but feel good knowing you will be watching over us protecting us all.   I will be looking out for those “heart shaped” rocks you promised to send my way.  Now you  can finally rest peacefully.   Love you always. ❤️

My prom date when all the popular girls were too shy to ask.

It’s official.

I am now the funniest living member of my family.

RIP to my Day 1 OG Jillybean.

The first girl who liked me that wasn’t my mom.

The first of several to break a wooden spoon on my heiny.

My prom date when the popular girls were too shy to ask me out.

My coconut head havin’, prescription pill poppin’, diabetic party animal.

The Queen of B**** Mountain.

The best grandma a guy could ask for.

Heaven gained another problem customer.

Give em hell, ol’ girl. 😘

I always used to say that I didn’t grow up with a “sweet innocent grandma” and I meant that in the best way possible. My spunky grandma was an absolute spitfire — she was outgoing, charming, hysterically funny, witty, and sassy as hell. She had an infectious energy about her and if you met my grandma for even 5 minutes, I can promise that she made you laugh within that short timeframe and probably said a one-liner that you’ll never forget. We never stopped having fun with her and even during these last few months, she never lost her sense of humor. Above all else, she loved her children and her grandchildren more than anything and always said that we were her life. We may have been her life but she made all of our lives so much brighter with all of the love, care, and constant laughs that she gave to us everyday. She was the truly the best grandma a girl could ask for — and the heartbreak of losing her does not outweigh the overwhelming gratitude that I feel for having her in my life for nearly 30 years. Rest in peace to the heart and soul of our family, the life of the party, the strongest woman I’ve ever met and my best friend for life… no words could ever do her justice. I am so thankful to have had her love and influence surrounding me for as long as I did — and I know my family will continue to keep her memory alive in all that we do. We’ll love you and miss you forever, JillyBean. I hope you’re eating coffee and Devil Dogs for breakfast up there like you used to give us during sleepovers at Grandma’s House! ❤️

My mother was the most caring and nurturing woman I’ve ever known, always putting her family first. She devoted her life to raising my siblings and me, providing endless love, guidance, and support. Even after we grew up, she was always helping raise her grandchildren.  She adored her grandchildren that's for sure. Her kindness and patience were unmatched, and she made everyone feel special and cared for. I will always cherish the deep bond we all shared and the love she poured into our family.  I will find comfort knowing she is finally at peace and will live on in all of our cherished memories.  Rest easy mom. I'll love you forever and strive to make you proud each and every day.

I cannot have a thought of my childhood that does not include “cousin Jill” in some way.  
She was always so funny.. and always so kind to me as her “little cousin”
Many memories of us together at “the farm” as kids..
And as we grew older she definitely kept all of us together organizing cousin reunions!
She talked often to me about her loving family and children and grandchildren who took such good care of her as she became ill .
She was a wonderful presence in our family and to me personally…I will miss her!
And I will miss her

My sister, my friend.  Although we spent the last 50 years of our lives living in different states our relationship and love never changed.  Jill lived for her family and took pride in all their accomplishments.  She loved her husband, Pat unconditionally and enjoyed the simple things in life.  She was a good wife, a wonderful mother, a loving daughter,  a super sister and a good friend.  I know all who knew her will miss her as will I.  

I'm so sorry Pat, Lynn, Elaine, Joy, Patrick and all her grandchildren and great grandchild.  I grieve with you.

Judy
