LIVESTREAM JILLIAN'S MEMORIAL CELEBRATION
Tributes
  1. It is with sadness from a very long friendship to hear of Jill’s passing,
    Like so many of us, we go way back to the Young Farmer Club in Melbourne and other clubs around the state.
    Although we caught up rarely in recent years, no less we did touch base on our respective birthdays every year with an annual reflection on the past year.
    Sadly, that innings has come to an end.
    Jill you were a very kind hearted person and loved your family and would be there when or if called on.

    Rest in peace with love and respect.
