• My deepest condolences to Jill's family and friends. As a former colleague and friend at the very special Argyle Alternative High School on Stella Avenue in Winnipeg's North End, I was in awe of how tirelessly she worked to place challenging students in jobs and how often they succeeded with her support. She was a good friend to many and had a large number friends and family with whom she was very close. I remember that every year she would take holiday time to drive her grandmother to Las Vegas where grandma would spend the winter months. I thought that Jill was a wonderful granddaughter and that Las Vegas was a perfect place for a bingo loving grandmother to spend the winter. While Jill could not find a way to stay here, she was able with her final act to bring public attention to the feelings of people with mood disorders. We are still learning from her. Rest in peace Jill. Sincerely Elvira Finnigan - Posted by: Elvira Finnigan (Friend and Colleague) on: Sep 20, 2015

• My condolences to your families and friends. So hard to say goodbye but memories will remain of all the laughs and crazy things we did to help students move forward and get the best out of what life could offer them. There were so many parents, students and colleagues you helped over the years and we can't thank you enough for being you. There is another hole in my heart. - Posted by: Carolyn Graham (Friend, Windsor, Ontario) on: Sep 20, 2015

• Jill was my first Psychology teacher at Miles Macdonnell Collegiate. She was one of my basketball coaches as well. I remember Jill brightening some of my trouble days from time to time back then. To realize this tragic end is painful enough, but knowing she had struggles, that really hurts my heart. I do know she had wonderful, understanding friends and family that she gained strength from on her questionable days, but now everyone is mourning her loss. I grieve with all of the caring people of Jill Wolstencroft. Shirley Dudeck, I will join you in a toast to Jill as well my friend. Adios mi amiga. - Posted by: jill palmer (nee) mcwhinney (student/friend) on: Sep 19, 2015

• Jill was always equally supportive and respectful to staff and students. Maya Angelou once said, "I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Thank you for all that you did Jill. - Posted by: Cheryl Haverick (Former Churchill High School staff member) on: Sep 19, 2015

• To my sister in law who was the best auntie my children could ever have asked for. You got Chloe off a bottle and out of diapers in one weekend while we were sailing, when we sucked at it (pardon the pun). You inspired her and her brother Teagan in their education, and countless others too. You were a friend, a companion and a joy to be with. I will miss you forever. - Posted by: Margaret Wolstencroft (sister in law) on: Sep 16, 2015
