This is hard for me to write. I'm her niece Kacie. I was too heartbroken to say what I wanted to say when the funeral was going on, so I'll say it now, almost an entire year later.
Aunt Jill, you were one of the most beautiful and kind people I've had the pleasure of knowing and being related to. Even if we didn't speak often, you were always in my heart. I could never believe that nothing was said by me. Not even a month after when i was still checking this. I used to love getting birthday and Christmas cards from you and Uncle Paul, knowing full well it was from both of you with love and care. Hell, I always wanted to grow up to be like you, and yeah, I'm bad at school, what do I expect from myself, I'm 14! But your work ethic from memories as a child remind me to keep trying- and I'm doing just that, I'm trying my hardest to get a job, and I'm trying to get good grades even during the virus' chaos. What I tried to say throughout all this is; I love and miss you Aunt Jill, and I hope you're looking down on me now and smiling as I try to hold back tears day by day, remembering all the good you've done. It's hard to get past what I don't want to do and to get to what I want to do. It's hard on me with the memories of you coming back all at once, and it's hard to keep my head up, but I'm trying just for you. I love you so much, and yeah, I'm an atheist but for once I believe that God chose right with sending you up to heaven. I'll always miss and love you Aunt Jill, Rest in peace.
