"Forever Young"

~June 27, 1989--June 11, 2005~

Loving Daughter to Howie & Debbie Beach
Little sister to Eddie, Krissy, Megs, & Richie
Auntie to Jillian Elizabeth Beach & Lillian Avis Beach
Grand-daughter, Niece, Cousin, Auntie,
God-daughter, Best Friend & Loved by many

This memorial website was created in the
memory of our loved one, our little friend and Goddaughter,
Jillian Marie Beach who was born in Massachusetts
on June 27, 1989 and passed away on June 11, 2005
at the age of 15 after a 4 1/2 yr. battle with
Metatastic Malignant Melanoma. The
deadliest form of skin cancer known to be an
adult cancer now increasingly affecting our children.
Jillian's cancer was not a result of genetics or sunburns.
There is much research to be done as to why
the "Little People" are getting this form of cancer.

Jill was only 11 yrs. old when diagnosed with stage 3 MM.
 
Jillian Loved life, she lived everyday to the fullest.
Her greatest qualities consist of Love, compassion,
thoughtfullness, a genuine caring young person.
A child you learned from. The best hugs ever.

A gifted child with a love for people, music, poetry,
 math and science. Jillian was involved in her 
community, church, school and Girl scouts and had 
recieved the "Silver Award"  in her girl scout troop
in Milton Mass. Sadly it was the day after her passing
this award was to be given and recieved.

Jillian was a sophmore at Milton High, she spoke 
French fluently and loved to play the Flute in her 
school band.

Despite Jilly's battle with Melanoma she diligently
maintained her high honor roll level. Education 
was extremely important to Jill, so important Jill 
remained tutored until 2 wks. before she had to 
depart. Jillian wanted to go to college where she 
would study Science, she wanted to help 
find a cure for Melanoma. She wanted to help the 
"Little Children" she didn't like the fact that ones
younger than herself had lost their battles with 
their illness. Jill actually thought that 
it wasn't fair that younger children get sick, she 
was older but, not by much.

Jillian was a "Warrior" to the end. The most
Brave and Courageous young Child/Teen one could 
only be so lucky to have known. 
Jill never gave up and she never gave in . 
She endured over a dozen surgeries, 
hospitilizations and many many drugs but
the tumors continued to grow. 
Though her bright smile never faded and her wisdom 
grew beyond her years.


Our "silly jilly" was treated at the 
Dana Farber/Jimmy Fund Clinic in Boston where Jilly 
had the Best treatment possible including 
many top Melanoma Specialist, an incredible 
staff of nurses and assistants and a 
Pediatrric Oncologist who 
went above and beyond his call of duty.

I am grateful to everyone who helped our "silly jilly," 
for all the love and support to her family over those 
long years. To every person who has lit a candle, said 
a prayer or just says her name "JILLIAN". 
We will remember "Silly Jilly" forever.

~October 11, 2006~
16 months have come and gone since you departed yet, 
it seems like yesterday. Thoughts of you flood my mind with
 sweet memories.
Loving you was so easy missing you, not having you here is the
hardest of all.
Time passes and I'm lost to where it goes, always wishing it was 
just a bad dream. Our world has a emptiness without you and we 
can only fill that void with loving thoughts of the "sweetest child" one
 could only be so lucky to have known. So I try to focus on your Love 
for life, your sweet ways and the amazing things you did on this earth
in your short time with us. You touched so many lives, you taught us 
about strength, courage and laughter. 
I miss my "silly jilly", I miss
your sweet kisses and your beautiful brows.

         ~May 2005, in New York, attending my sister Megs graduation 
               from Wagner College. I waited a long time to get here and

 I made it! ~

Jillian A.k.a. "silly jilly" was ready to "rock & roll" 
this world by the age of 2. Born into a large family 
with 4 older siblings, Eddie, Krissy, Meghan & Richie, 
Jilly wanted for nothing and had full control of everyone.
Eddie would dote over his baby sister, waiting on her
hand and foot. He cuddled her with constant love.
Eddie was such a good big brother thatone day Jilly
 wanted to play"Gulliver's Travel" Ed was to be the giant
 and Jilly the "little people".
 As the story is told The "little people tie up Gulliver. 
So Eddie being the big brother played Gulliver and yes 
Jilly was the "little people." Out came the Dental floss. 
The story is told that when Mom (Deb) & Dad (Howie)
entered the room they were shocked at the sight 
before them. Yes, Eddie was tied up to a chair with 
dental floss that went around him nicely. When asked 
why did he let Jilly tie him up well, the only response
was "she wanted me to be Gulliver." He never said no 
to anything his little sister wanted. Needless to say 
Mom & Dad had to get the scissors and cut their 
10 yr. old son free from the chair. 
Warning Dental Floss is very strong so if you 
have a toddler with such an imagination hide the floss! 
To be continued....
