Where do I start?? She was one of my favorite friends as I was growing up, even though I was a year older and we went to different High Schools. Jill would come over for piano lessons, and ask for a piece of toast from my mom's homemade bread. So we'd have a yummy snack. We were so silly together! We'd get in trouble for it.I remember I was at the Treseder's house on the day Neil Armstrong landed on the moon! We were always wanting a sleepover, or to go to each other's houses to play after Church. I remember one summer she came to Ruby Valley with me, and we had a ball riding horses. We had fun in mutual, in the roadshow and in the Music man. We were both very boy crazy. I remember so much laughing! She fiercely loved her younger siblings. Jill, Jeannine Luke, and I all married the same summer, and our firstborns were all born in 1980. We all hung out while our husbands were enrolled at BYU. I remember she threw up so much with Amberly's pregnancy. We'd be talking, then she'd say, just a minute, and go barf. Poor Kid! We'd hang out with our babies, and find cheap, fun things to do because we were so poor. Sometimes we would laugh our heads off making up songs about things that related to our situations. ("Make up a song about changing diapers to the tune of 76 Trombones. GO!" We would play records, and dance to the music. Amberly, if you love Billy Joel, and don't know why, this is it! We'd make Christmas ornaments, do crafts, and had a lunch group. We'd play the Dictionary Game with our husbands, and make frappe'. So elegant! I feel so bad to have lost touch with Jill over years. The last time we caught up was about the time the twins were born. She was the ONLY childhood friend I had who acknowledged it and called me when my Dad died. I guess no one else knew what to say. I always appreciated that. She was one of my best friends growing up, and I have such fond memories with her. I pray for peace to all her loved ones whose hearts are hurting at this time. I couldn't help but think of her reuniting with her beloved Grandma Childs and many others, I'm sure. Very best wishes to all--Karen Williams Mineer
I am sorry to hear about your mother. I was Caitlins teacher at Faith Learning Center in Napa, I also knew Jill from Cornerstone Ministries. Your mom was such a loving, caring individual,always smiling. She was always concerned with what was best for her children. Please give my condolences to Caitlin. I will be praying for peace and comfort for your families. Pat Hawton
Good Evening. I just heard about Jill passing away last night. I am in Minnesota so could not attend the service today. I went to Napa High School and graduated with your mom in 1977. I have reconnected with Jill a few separate occasions. The last few times I saw her she was at Jackie's Consignments. We shared some stories from the past and also some laughs at how quickly time goes by. She was reflective, working through some stuff, but still had that million dollar smile. My heart aches for your family. No words can truly comfort right now, but I offer my prayers for God's abundance grace during this most difficult time. Your mom was a one-of-a-kind treasure and will be greatly missed. Paula (McCreary) Kelly
I am saddened to hear this tragic news. When I was growing up, our families spent every Thanksgiving together. I remember your mom was always laughing and her smile alone was worth a million dollars. I miss her and cherish fond memories of her. Our family is praying for you guys. May you feel the peace and comfort as you grieve this huge loss. All our best Scott & Tanita Sessions
Dear Jesse and Family: We are sorry to learn of your loss; our deepest sympathy to you and your mother's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. Sincerely, Alan & Arlene Stone

Dear Jesse and family, My name is Donna Brooks Hoffa and my Mom was another Aunt of your grandmother. My Mom was Beth Child Brooks. I am so sorry to hear of your's Mom's passing. When I found out the news, the first picture that came to my mind was when I held your Mom in my arms when she was a brand new baby. My parents and I were visiting Utah and staying at Aunt Marvilla and Uncle Grant's home and your Grandparents came over and brought your Mom so we could "meet" her. She was so tiny and they let me hold her and I was so excited to be able to do that. Please remember that even though she may not be there with you physically, her sweet spitit is very close by. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Donna
Jesse, I am the daughter of your grandmother's Aunt Maxine. I can remember when your mother was born and know that she was always a sweet child, and, later, a lovely woman. My heartfelt condolences go out to your entire family. Janet Allen

It was with a great sense of loss when i heard of Jill's death. I wanted to let you know that you have my greatest sympathy, and my heart is truly saddened. Jill was just more than a wonderful person; she was always so kind and considerate that I always welcomed seeing her at every opportunity. Jill's passing will not only leave a void in many lives, but in the hearts of those who knew her. I was Jill's next door neighbor for many years and as a kid on South Seymour in Napa and enjoyed her and her family. Jesse and Justin were great and I enjoyed our many tree fort fights and trampoline flip battles. My mother Janice and I send our deepest sympathy on your loss and have added Jill and her family in our prayers.
Our sincere thoughts and prayers Charles Burguin and Janice Hernandez

I first met Jill- Your Mother- when she worked at Napa County. We became friends and shared some very wonderful time together. Your Mother was an incredibly smart, creative and lovely person that I enjoyed and appreciated for who she was and what she gave to me as a friend. She was a friend and support when my Father died and I will always love her for that. We lost touch at some point...I only saw her a couple of times in the 2 years before she died and that made me very sad. I wanted her to understand that I loved her no matter what...but I also accepted that she could not see me in the same way. I just never expected that she would die and I would never get to sit on my patio- as we had done so many times- and laugh and cry together. She loved her children beyond all compare...you all were her heart and soul. I will miss her till the day I die...some people just touch you in that way...I love you Jill.
I first remember Jill when she was a cheerleader at Ridgeview Junior High School. She was one year ahead of me in school. Jill and I became very close my junior and senior years in high school. When I started investigating the Church my junior year, she was a huge part in me becoming a member of the Church. As soon as I was baptized, Jill broke up with her previous boyfriend and we were boy and girlfriend for the next 18 months. I have very fond memories of the entire Treseder Family. They took me under their wing when I was a brand new member of the Church. Jill and I started at BYU together and were in the same student ward there. The only reason that we broke up was because I knew that I needed to go on a mission. I remember being on my mission knowing that she was getting married that day and feeling a little bit of an ache in my heart. Jill and the entire Treseder Family will always have a special place in my heart.
