"We first met Jill seven years ago after she and Bob started dating," the home designer began her update. "Bob had been our neighbor, friend and pseudo uncle for our kids. When Jill came into his life, he seemed to light up from within. Dave officiated the wedding held in our barn. Jill was immediately a part of our family."
Jenny detailed all the ways that "neighbors become family" when living on a farm.
"They are the ones you do life with day in and day out," she shared. "They’re the ones you call when there’s a problem with an animal or the tractor isn’t starting or you can’t find your dog (because Dolly loved visiting Bob and Jill’s for biscuits). They’re the ones who keep sodas in the fridge and popsicles in the freezer for when the kids pop by (which they did very often)."
Additionally, neighbors are "the ones who are there for birthdays and holidays and school plays and talent shows," according to the HGTV star. "They’re the family you’re blessed with simply because of proximity (and intentionality). An unexpected gift. A treasure."
That's when Jenny got to the heart of her somber update, explaining that Jill died four months after her husband, Bob.
"We find ourselves wading again in the shocking waves of grief as we mourn the earth-side loss of our Jill," she wrote. "I was texting her from Italy with photos from our trip because she loves to hear about our adventures and we dreamt of going together someday. And, now, I’m having a very hard time grappling with the reality that her and Bob’s home stands empty, her cat is at my doorstep looking for food and my dear, creative, joyful, fun, full of life, friend is gone."

Folks in the comments flooded the Marrs family with condolences and messages of support amid their loss.
One Instagram user commented, "? Losing loved ones is so hard. So thankful for the promise of eternity and the gift of memories."
