I am Jill – with no middle name, until I married.  My life has been a generous one – loving, believing parents, a husband who loved me and I him, four children,  six grandchildren now, and a God who never gives up on me.  I have also known loss – my husband of 34 years died way too soon of cancer.  Since his death and my retirement from teaching, I have volunteered with World Vision, working here at home and traveling to far off places to serve.  So now this is a place to share about those trips, to reflect on the cancer years, to think about aging, and to just talk about life around me.
