  Testimonials Christine Mc Mahon, Program Planner at U.S. Government Printing Office. I had the honor to have Jill as a guest speaker at the Government Printing Office's Veteran's Day Ceremony in 2013. Her story and her passion blew the audience away. She rose above insufferable tragedy to share her story in a mission to spread awareness about organ donation. My life is truly blessed to have met her and heard her story in person. Her presentation at the ceremony was an inspiration and a reminder to all those present to count each blessing and remember we are each able to make a difference in the lives of others. One audience member said the ceremony was the best they had seen at the agency- a true testament to Jill's captivating presence.
