I am numb with emotions as I just heard about the Guerin family loss.

May God and the Angels guide you to a place that will help you deal with the loss of Jill.

Our deepest sympathies are offered to the entire Guerin family for this loss.



It seems like just yesterday when Brian and I were swimming in the pool, fighting for space with Winnie, and listening to AC/DC blaring from the basement, with Jill being the typical little sister threatening to tell her mom everything that went on... even thought there was never anything to tell.



Then, before I knew it, little Jill was all grown up. No longer the "little sister," we would see her with Sharyn at WOB, holding her own with us old folks.



Cheers to you, Jill, and somewhere in Heaven may AC/DC be blaring in your ears again!

Sharyn and family, My deepest sympathies to all of you. Its hard to understand "why" god takes someone so young and full of life,I suppose the best thing we can do is not question why but thank him for the time and the blessing of Jill in the first place. She brought laughter where ever she was and thats a precious gift. My prayers are with you all.

DEAR SHARYN AND FAMILY,



I AM DEEPLY SADDENED BY JILL'S DEATH. I WAS HER HAIR CUTTING BUDDY FOR 10 YEARS AND DID WE EVER HAVE FUN!! WE LAUGHED, GOSSIPPED, CHOPPED HAIR AND WERE GREAT FRIENDS! I WILL MISS HER AS I HAVE MISSED HER SINCE WE BOTH LEFT THE SHOP.. THOSE YEARS OF OUR LIFE WERE SOME GREAT YEARS AND JILL WAS ONE OF A KIND AND AN INCREDIBLE PERSON! MAY HEAVEN FIND "THEIR" NEW ANGEL AS SPECIAL AS I DID, AND MAY SHE FINALLY HAVE PEACE AND COMFORT. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL THE LOVED ONES SHE LEFT BEHIND.

To the Guerin Family -



Hold fast to your memories,

to the blessings and the laughter,

the sorrow and the tears.

They all add up to a treasure

that you shared and spent together,

close to you in spirit and thought.

The special moments

will never change.

today and forevermore.

"FOREVER ON MY MIND"

WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES

I WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE

SILENTLY I PRAY YESTERDAY'S

BAD DREAM WOULD DISAPPEAR.

I WISH I COULD TALK TO YOU

AND TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME,

I ALWAYS LOVED YOU, AND YOU WERE

FOREVER ON MY MIND

I MAY NOT SEE YOU PHYSICALLY,

OR HOLD YOU EVER AGAIN.

BUT I CAN HEAR YOU WHISPER TO ME

AND FEEL YOUR SOFT CARESS UPON MY SKIN.

I LOVE YOU NOW

LIKE I DID THEN.

YOU WERE A LOT OF THINGS TO EVERYONE

BUT MOST OF ALL YOU WERE MY FRIEND.

EVEN THROUGH THE RAIN...

I KNOW YOUR STAR STILL SHINES.

YOU'LL ALWAYS BE

FOREVER IN MY HEART

AND

FOR EVER ON MY MIND.



LOVE ALWAYS,

DAN DEWAN

Jill will be missed more than words can say. She made everyone she met laugh. What a gift that is. I thank God for knowing her, and know she is at his side making the angels roll with laughter. We will all miss you Jill.
