On November 6, 2020, the world unexpectedly lost Jill Diamond Ernst, leaving behind her husband, Jarrod, and her two boys, five-year-old Gavin and Damian, who recently celebrated his second birthday.

We (her friends and family) are establishing this fund to help provide for the future of her young boys by helping to offset the costs associated with her illness and loss, as well as the loss of her income.

Though Jill had been battling advanced stage three breast cancer, to anyone who had seen or spoken to her recently, she wasn't dying - far from it.   Jill was thriving- living and loving her life to the fullest, spreading love and joy as she always had. It was not her time and we lost her far too soon through circumstances that remain a mystery to those who loved her most. 


Due to the ongoing global pandemic and restrictions on large gatherings, we will be postponing a proper in-person memorial service until the time is right when all of the people who loved her can be together to truly celebrate her life, the way she would have wanted to be remembered.

Many people have reached out and asked what they can do to help. This is it.  If you can't donate, please share. If you can donate, please do so - and share.

Helping Jill's family is best way to show your love and support for Jill, her husband Jarrod and their boys Gavin and Damian, as they face a future without their incredible and loving wife and mother. 

There will be future communications about the ways in which we plan to celebrate Jill's life and keep her memory alive - both now and in the future.
