I am very sad to seeJill Epsteen leave us so suddenly, I fondly remember Jill being so pleasant and cooperative with m. I remember going with her DMV for renewal of her State ID card and Mc Donald. Once she went with me at beauty shop.. On all the outings she behaved in a very dignified and respectful manner. She would always address me in an affectionate manner as Tarshi. I miss her very dearly. May she rest in eternal peace, and pray that her loved ones bear her loss with God's Grace and strength,

My sincere condolences. I remember the first time I met Jill. We drove Cyndi home from skating and ended up staying for dinner. She was so sweet and lovable. She immediately took a liking to Carla. She kept on saying how cute she was. At some point I said we needed to go home so Carla could go to bed. Jill said to you that I was a responsible parent. Good memories! Love, Susan McKowen

I am heartbroken thinking about Jill and all the lives she touched in her beautiful and sweet way. She was so witty, so bright and so very funny. She will be missed by all.

We at Riverside Foundation will miss Jill so much. I will personally miss her as we were always very close. Jill could always come to me to share any news, concerns or ask questions about her life, her needs and upcoming events. She also came for reassurance about her family visits and earning rewards. She was always generous with the other residents and always ready to smile and greet staff. She had a great sense of humor; she would ask a question, provide the answer, and then burst out laughing along with the staff. For the short time that she was here, she made a lasting impression on staff, peers and visitors. She will always be in our hearts.

From Mommy Jill, My Angel and Darling Daughter. You have been my life and joy. I can’t believe that you have left me. I will miss you phone calls, your love, sweetness, soft hands, tenderness, unconditional love, your concern for your family and friends, your loving ways, your personality and quick wit. My heart is broken! My life will never be the same! You will always be my special daughter. You are now with your sister Lori. I wish God would give you both back to me. I don’t understand his plans. Jill my sweet baby, please pray for your Mommy to give me strength and peace to carry on for Cyndi, Gianna and Vincent. Love, Mommy

From- Daddy Jill, my sweet daughter. Your Daddy misses you so very much. You have been in my life for 43 years. Your love for me was more than anyone in the world. I will miss our Tuesdays together. I will miss your phone calls every morning, “Daddy, Daddy pick up, its your daughter Jill Epsteen Zalud”. I will miss your hugs and kisses. I will miss holding your hand in the car. You were dealt a bad hand, but your Mommy and Daddy tried very hard to make your life better. I am sorry for the times I didn’t pick up the phone, and I am sorry for the times I didn’t order you surf and turf. I miss you so very much. You will always be in my mind and heart. Please pray for your Mommy, I am so worried about her. Love Your Daddy

Dear Jill, My heart is broken. I already miss you more than I can ever say. I can’t believe that I will never hear “Sister, Sister” again. Thank you for making all of our lives richer because of your compassion, innocence and very loving ways. I know Lori has already greeted you with open arms and your best friend Bella is sitting on your lap right now giving you lots of puppy kisses, don’t worry we won’t tell mom 🙂 I love you with all of my heart and soul. Love, your Sister Cyndi
