“Our life’s path is not solely physical or spiritual, but rather the blending of our skills and abilities with intent to fulfill service to God. We become an instrument of love; completing the puzzle of our human mission.” IHood is Jill’s life’s work. Nearing completion, the book’s furious progress was interrupted by an aneurysm in October 2011. She was hospitalized for the next five months until her untimely death. In those five months, she continued living her passion by becoming a more conscious human being; sharing her awareness of the “other side.” She was unafraid of the transition and shared messages inherent in IHood. The relationship with faith and spirituality began with Jill at the age of 7, when her mother had her baptized in a small rustic Chapel on Panther Lake in Upstate NY, coinciding with the ending of World War II and safe return of her Uncles from battle. Following her baptism was a life-long dedication to learning about different faiths and the relationship between ego and spirituality. Jill believed that we each develop and assess our innate abilities to love and serve each other as we weave ourselves into the fabric of the world. When our physical time in this world draws to a close, our contribution – a spiritual legacy – continues to integrate. Her belief, as felt throughout IHood, is that a divine opportunity to fill one’s life with grace and purpose exists for everyone. It may lay dormant amidst worldly distractions, but begs to be awakened, interrupted, and brought to the forefront of living.
