Connect How did your love story begin?

Our love story began after Jill lost her husband to cancer, leaving her heartbroken and lonely. Encouraged by her children, she created an online dating profile. Mark, recently separated, was also searching for love. Within just an hour of Jill launching her profile, they connected. Their online chat blossomed into a phone conversation that led them to meet in person the next day. From that moment on, they have been inseparable. Their journey of healing and love led them to marry in 2021.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Our favorite memory as a couple is the day Jill was confirmed in the Catholic Church, with Mark proudly as her sponsor. The ceremony was emotional, marking Jill's journey of faith and healing. Approaching the altar together, she felt supported and loved, knowing Mark was there to guide her. His unwavering belief in her made the moment even more special. Afterward, they shared a heartfelt reflection on their journey together, reinforcing their bond. This day became a cherished milestone.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won $20,000, we would create a scholarship fund in memory of Jill's late husband for students who have lost a parent to cancer, supporting their education and providing hope. We would use the remaining funds for a meaningful trip to Italy to visit the Vatican in hopes of seeing the new Pope. This journey would strengthen our bond and create lasting memories, filling us with gratitude for every moment shared together and reminding us of the love and joy in our lives.
