Jenelle Balladeo was born to Leonardo and Aida Balladeo on January 29, 1981 at Madigan Medical, Fort Lewis. Jill peacefully passed away on October 14, 2007 at the University of Washington Hospital, Seattle, surrounded by family and dear friends. Raised in Lacey, a beautiful and special person, who could touch any person’s heart with a simple smile, Jill attended Meadows Elementary, Chinook Middle School, River Ridge High School and pursued higher education at St. Martin’s University and later the Art Institute of Seattle. Jill started taking piano lessons at age five and tennis at age ten. She loved sports, scrabble, shopping, eating out and spending time with her “God baby”, Analise; and her dog, Puka. She also loved spending quality time with her best friends, usually daring them to do the most random and craziest things. Jill lived a happy and wonderful life always following the quote, “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and have the wisdom to know the difference.” Jill was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, and paternal grandparents. She is survived by her loving parents, Leo and Aida; brother, Johaness Balladeo; grandmother, Felicidad Abrena; aunt, Elvira Morrison; uncles, Jessy Abrena, Edgardo and Romeo Balladeo; her devoted friend, Steve Topasna; and Goddaughter, Analise. Warmest thanks are expressed by the family to many friends who provided their support through prayers, cards, calls and visits.

I named him !Xobile which is pronounced, (*click with your tongue*, bee lay.) That’s right folks this guy has a click in his name! I couldn’t think of a name at the time so I was thinking a Swahili name would be cool for this guy. Thanks to the comedian Russell Peters. !Xobile is the part of a new gang called The Skulls. They go around catching people in embarassing moments and post videos of them on the internet for kicks. At night they like rearranging people’s important belongings only to wake up laughing at your frustrations in the morning. So be careful where you leave your keys! !Xobile’s specialty is dropping spiders in your mouth when you’re sleeping. Yummy in your tummy!
