Today we come with great sadness to talk about Jillian Malloy's death. As someone who was very close with her, I think this is more about celebrating her life and not dwelling on her loss. Jillian was a fine young girl, she was good in school and also a good person at heart. Good friend, good sister and good daughter. She was always into helping people out, sticking up for others and trying to make the best of every situation. When she was younger she started a fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina. With a little help from friends, family and the rest of the community she raised over $2000 for the cause. This is just a little piece of the good that she did for others. She did walks for M.S., breast cancer and autism. Fundraising played a big part in her life. She has worked at soup kitchens and recently before she became sick she was able to go to a place in the bronx where she bagged groceries for families that would not be able to buy them themselves. She always brightened up the day of others. There was always a sense of happiness when she would walk through the door. Many times she would be ask, do you ever get mad or are you ever not happy. Her answer would always be not really. It took a lot to make Jillian mad. Jillian truelly had something special about her. She could make people laugh when they were about to cry and could crack a joke at the most innappropriate but much needed times. She enjoyed hanging out with her friends. Though she was very busy with school and work she always had time to see her friends, especially her best friend Tara. They were inseperable. Jillian treated all her friends like family. Offering rides when needed. As her friend myself, I knew she was always there for me. One day I called her at 2 am because I was having family issues and she came right over to be there with me, I knew if i wanted to talk shed be there to listen and if i just wanted her there she was always there. Her family felt the same way with her. When i was asked to write this eulogy i wanted the input of her family also, so i asked about how she was towards them. They said she was an excellent daughter. When her mom and dad fought some how shed get them to stop and just make everyone laugh. She was very mature and could be trusted in everything she was doing. She was hardworking with her two jobs and school work but was always ready to go for a drive with the family or just to spend time with them. Jillian will really be missed by her family friends and over all the community.
