Jill Johnston

Author and Critic May 17, 1929 - September 18, 2010

IN THE SPIRIT OF CYRIL JOHNSTON'S CELEBRATIONS, I WOULD LIKE TO SWING SOME REAL BELLS, BETTER, SWING ON THEM, PREFERABLY MIGHTY ONES, MAKE A FEARSOME RACKET.

Jill Johnston

from "England's Child"

She was my North, my South

My East and West

My working week and my Sunday rest

My noon, my midnight

My talk, my song

I thought [she] would last forever ...

Dearest Family and Friends

Our most adored and beloved Jilly, mother of Richard and Winnie, grandmother of Amanda and Ben, Lori and Marissa, my own darling love and best friend of 30 years, died today, September 18, 2010 at 1:40 PM.

She left us peacefully and with dignity; let's honor her immense legacy of love, kindness and amazing intelligence by celebrating her life each and every moment in our own daily activities.

May her liberated spirit guide us on our paths.

With love and gratitude,

Ingrid
