  Our own sweet Jill had passed, I just learned today. I thought the community would want to know. Thanks to Matt for seeing the news on Isacoustic.

  I didn't know she was sick. I really wish I'd read more of her work.

  This is really sad and so unexpected. My condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed.

  First Sally, now Jill. I had no idea either was mortally ill. This is shocking and sad.

  Thank you, Matt, for the alert, and thank you, Charlotte, for sharing.

  Memory eternal: Jill Chan.

  I am not familiar with most of her work and could claim no personal acquaintance, but I continue to appreciate the positive feedback she gave yours truly last year while rolling out the Daodejing paraphrase. Her welcome and generous responses helped me persevere with the work: in that regard she'll stay in my memory close to Sally Houtman.

  Jill was a fine, frequent contributor to this site. I am very sad to hear of her passing. Like so many here, we commented occasionally on each other's work. It is in this context that we can reflect on how lives can connect in a small way through the passing between of words.

  I'm so sad to hear of this news. I'm broken-hearted, really. She was someone I greatly admired. A gifted and original soul.

  Oh no. Sad. So unexpected. Jill was a wonderful writer. My connection with her predates Fictionaut - back to the earlier days of Blue Fifth Review.

  I will surely miss reading new works.

  I will miss Jill.

  Everyone,
  Barton Smock of Isacoustic is planning an issue dedicated to Jill.

  He says, “I would like to publish in volume third any remembrances, poems, asides by those Jill and her work touched. I am making this volume of {isacoustic*} free to anyone requesting, and will be sending it to all taking part in the honoring, to all contributors published in the volume, and to all contributors of the past two volumes.

  If you knew, by which I mean know, Jill, by person, spirit, or by work…you can send such remembrances to isacousticsubmissions@gmail.com in any form you see fit, and I will get them into volume third.”

  To be published mid to late April.
