It s hard saying goodbye to old friends like Jill Garrett.
Some of you may not recall her. She left WNEP in 2008 because of health issues.
It was the cap of a long career, one that centered a great deal on how she might best serve her community; making a difference was what Jill thought she ought to be doing. She took that path at every opportunity.
It started when she was a teenager and continued through and following the Agnes flood of 1972. If there was a cause that needed help, Jill wanted to be part of it.
