She raised a family while going to school and working. We moved about 13 times for my job and Jill would turn our new house into a home each time. She was so excited when I retired and we moved to North Carolina to be closer to our kids and grandkid. That's when she got the job at 在线电子游戏网赌 and met Joni Pavlik (who was 在线电子游戏网赌 Dean of Business & 媒体科技及公共服务).

"I had to have surgery several years back and Jill surprised me with a beagle she got from the VMT program. She said that she got it to help motivate me to walk after the surgery. 这只狗的名字叫影子. He was a blessing and did accomplish her goal of getting me walking after the surgery."

Mr. 吉列说他的妻子从未见过陌生人. "She made friends wherever we lived or wherever she worked. Once Jill was your friend, you had a friend for life. She was the same way with animals; she loved them."

他注意到，在他妻子去世后, he and his children talked about ways to remember Jill and her love of people and animals. "We thought it would be great to remember her for what she loved and enjoyed. 我们决定了最好的方法, 我们认为吉尔也会同意, 是帮助某人完成学业吗. We established her scholarship for those in the VMT program at the school she felt so attached to,他说.
