Jill Royster Berry - Cancer Survivor
~Big thanks to Jill Berry! Mrs. Berry donated North Carolina Breast Cancer Awareness T shirts and some other doodads to all the APES to wear during our Walkathon on Friday! Jill was Mr. Gibbons next door neighbor growing up in the Boston area back int the 1960's and 1970's. Every APE knows who Jill is... they know her complete story from adoption to child abuse, to fighting in the Gulf War to mothering two amazing and gifted children!! Breast cancer is just one of the obstacles Jill has overcome in her life. I am so proud of the woman she has become, and even more proud to call her my friend. You think Mr. Gibbons is a big Patriots fan?...Mrs. Berry is even more crazy when it come to the Patriots and Red Sox! Her Boston accent is still there!
