To the family of Jill Main heartfelt condolences. Friends from way back in school days, followed by years of working together on the Society for Research on Women in New Zealand I have many fond memories of Jill's kindness, efficiency and amazing innovative hard work. She even made several outfits for my daughters as we were going overseas and it was clear I'd never accomplish the sewing I was planning. I treasure the art piece she made me as a SROW memorial. My sympathy to the family, Mary

I am very sad to hear of the passing of Jill. She was like a second mum to me during the time I lived near you in Khandallah. Many happy memories, thinking of you all at this difficult time.
