Comments about ‘Rookard balances caring for mom, Olympic dreams’

Dearest Jill, Every time I read another wonderful story about you I just get a big smile. LOL! I certainly never even realized that after skating together with you back in 2001, you would be on the ice. Something I would have really liked to have gone back to, of course if I was younger! You have made it my friend! My prayers are with you and your Mom!
Miss you,
Penny

In this very trying time, stay strong and vigilant. For someone whose has known your mother as long as we have, I believe she says follow your dreams and be the best at what you do. Very few people have inspired me to be the man that I have become. She is one of those precious few. I will truely miss your mom and I so truely look forward to cheering you on to Gold.

Jill, I've known you since Kintergarden. Here I've been thinking how your mom inspired me. She was literally a 2nd mom to me. Since her passing, I've learned how many other people she inspired. She's not only a legend locally, but all over the country! She's touched tons of people. Good luck in Vancouver girl. Oh, and hey, Can I give you something?

Hi Jill, it was great skating with you and getting to know you at incredi-roll. I always knew you were going to make it. Say hi to your mom and hang in there. You're quite a lady!

hey Jill,
it was great meeting you a few years back when i visited my Grandma Dee. I hope you are doing well, and I want you to know that my prayers are with you and your family during this time.

All my love and support,
Mary Uebel
