trambo Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Very sadly, I have just had a message from Sue Hines to tell me that Jill's daughter, Lisa, had been in contact to say Jill passed away peacefully last Wednesday. Jill had been ill for many years but was always a champion of the NBN and loved the Broads and boat life deeply. Always kind and generous in her posts here and elsewhere I sure we will all miss her. Condolences to her family, she was a very special lady. Fred 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Oh no! How very sad, we will all miss Jill, her talent and her good sense. Condolences to Lisa and the rest of her family. I think we need a Jill Photo Gallery as well as a Broadscot Lounge? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 That is sad news indeed. Jill will be missed by us all. Condolences to her family. Very sad loss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I had met Jill on a number of occasions, seriously likeable lady. Like Jon I knew of her illness but I suppose, because it's the easy option, I took her survival for granted. Jill, I always enjoyed our meetings, like Jon I shall miss you as will the forum. Bless you for your friendship. I am not ashamed to admit that I am close to tears as I write this, God bless. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRascal Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 What a shock and how very sad. I'd always enjoyed her contributions and her name seemed part and parcel with the Broads and Forums. She will be sadly missed and I wish her family all the strength through this difficult time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebee29 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 This is very sad news. I always looked forward to Jill's Around and about the Broads photo posts, she was an amazing photographer who just had "The Eye" for a photograph. Not something you can learn, you either have it or you don't and Jill certainly did. Our deepest condolences to Jill,'s family I heartily agree about Jill's Photo Gallery 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 What more can be said? Jill's photographs certainly brought the broads into sharp focus for us all and often provoked a deep sigh. Now that sigh is in sorrow on hearing the sad news. I hope someone who knows the family will be able to let them know how much many of us that never met her, appreciated and will miss her contributions. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 My condolences to her family. I never met Jill but her photographs were the one thread I'd set up a notification for so I never missed one. Always surprising, always engaging and always informative...very much like the lady I suspected. She will be missed very much indeed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwellian Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Thoughts are with her family and close friends. A really lovely lady. When I first got the pleasure of setting the questions on the Quiz she was very friendly and helpful. Her photographs as she wandered around were excellent. She will be sadly missed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizG Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Oh how sad and per usual because I was late reading this, everyone else has said everything I am feeling at the moment. A lovely person, that I didn't personally know but like Broad Scot we did in a strange way! She helped bring Vaughan to this forum and when he reads this he will without doubt shed a tear as many else will being doing ............. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
