Rest in Peace, dear Jillar.  You worked so hard to help the members of this board.  You will certainly live on in our memories.

I'm really sad to hear this.  Jillar was a great person who helped so many in quitting smoking and was a great friend to many here.  Rest in peace Jillar, you are definitely missed.

[QuittingGirl]

Ohh I am so very sad to hear this!!!  She really helped me so much and will be missed!  I didn't see her for a while and was wondering if something was wrong.  What happened Doreen, do you know? So very very sorry! 

[Doreensfree]

I had to ask friends on her Facebook , 

Complications of Emphysema 

I am heartbroken… 

We were so good friends

[Reciprocity]

I'm gutted hearing this terrible news  

She was always so passionate about helping others rid themselves of this nasty addiction and she in fact did so much for others here. It is our collective great loss.

R.I.P. dear Jillar.

 

As Henry Van Dyke once penned ...

 

Gone From My Sight

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

 

Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone."

 

Gone where?

 

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.

And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"

 

And that is dying...

I’m so very sad to hear this about Jillar, what a wonderful lady she was, always helping and encouraging others.

A great loss to her family, and  to all her family here too.

RIP Jillar

I am truly saddened by Jillar's passing. She was one the few I leaned on and learned from hear on the train. You were a sweet and caring person. You will be missed greatly. RIP Jillar.

So sad ... darn cigarettes.  "You helped so many find their Freedom from nicotine addiction.  A life well lived; breathe easy; rest now."

RIP my friend!  You were one of the nicest people I’ve known.  You will be missed.

Rest in Peace.  She was a wonderful help to this forum and the new quitters.

[intoxicated yoda]

Words cannot describe the sadness I feel seeing this news.  Her value here was immeasurable to me and I'm sure many others.  May her journey on the other side be blessed.

Gday

I'm pretty shocked. She was such a little power house. She will be missed around here.

Rest in peace Jillar

Always liked her dirty name, at least to me it meant something dirty.(if you spell it Jiller and make it a verb) I know she had a LOT of patience for the group. Really she was the moderator who put it out there. But maybe I got the name wrong. 
 

sad to see anyone leave especially an old friend. Even when they end up in a better place we hate change, resistance is not an option with death but we don’t have to like it. 
 

really can’t say I know much about her.Big ears and teeth from her picture. Or again maybe the rabbit was her favorite toy. Either way let’s assume she was cuddling and felt good as she was good to have responded to anything posted.

so here is my poem copied from Google- think it fits here for this group as her writing with still be with us

Don't cry for me now I have died, for I'm still here I'm by your side, My body's gone but my soul is here, please don't shed another tear, I am still here I'm all around, only my body lies in the ground.

 

[despair not]

Goodbye Jillar RIP

Thanks for the help you gave to us quitters

 

[c9jane29]

What a wonderful woman and she leaves behind a legacy that will continue to help quitters for years to come.

Rest in peace, friend.
