“I lost a client and a friend today.
“I hope her music, memory, & legacy continue to live on and inspire others.”
Her attorney Ken Hertz said: “Jill wasn’t just a client.
“She was family to us. She showed up for every birth, every birthday, and every holiday.
“She performed at our daughter’s wedding, and I was her ‘tech’ when she performed by Zoom from our living room (while living with us) during the pandemic.”
