No words can explain how we all feel of this loss.  Jackie was 1 in a million.  She came to our family and brightened our days.  She was always just a phone call away, ready for whatever the day would bring.  She was loved beyond words and will forever be missed.  Gone but never forgotten.

You always were smilingly & such a funny person to be around.You & Nicole were thick as thieves. Always trying to scare me or just joke around. Heaven definitely gained an amazing angel!!Until we meet again JJ.

To JJ’s family, my deepest sympathy to you all. Jackie was truly an amazing person. She made it so easy to love her. Even with the short time that I worked with her at Lutheran she was a blessing to our residents and to me.  She was my dance partner at weddings we have attended. I do know the friends she made, are all feeling the loss of her. I hope knowing how much love she has gives you some sort of comfort at this time.

Shelley, my deepest condolences on the loss of your beautiful, precious daughter Jacqueline.  My heart breaks for you and your entire family. I only met her a few times while we worked together, but she was always so full of joy and kindness, and I remember what an amazing help she was to you when you hosted that lovely picnic at your home, and even as young as she was, engaged in conversation with all, and had such a maturity beyond her years….seeing what needed doing, and helping at once, always with a smile on her face.
My God embrace your family and bless you with comfort, strength, and peace through this most difficult time, and in the days ahead.
