Jill and Kathy

Meanwhile, Jill made some friends of her own at work. Kathy Parham became her closest friend, with whom she spent most of her time with during lunch breaks and other activities outside of work. They also formed a small prayer group with colleagues. Over the years, Jill and Kathy became inseparable, and eventually, Jill trusted Kathy enough to start confiding in her about personal matters at home.

Jill and Terri

Jill also made friends elsewhere. As she continued taking part in church activities, she became part of a Christian singing trio called “Jacob’s Well” with Terri Willoughby, with whom she also developed a close friendship. They would often go out to lunch and talked on the phone several times a week. Terri also became Jill’s closest confidant.
