Jill Sampey has passed away on Saturday, February 17th. It comes to a shock to everyone who knows her. She was the most smiley, heartwarming and caring people we have. She was one of the smartest and best in our industry. The industry is just learning the news but the outpouring of support and messages from the people in the SEM industry is overwhelming.

I wanted to share some of the publicly accessible stories and messages from the community.

There are tons of private posts, which I will not share here, because they are private.
