I was shocked and saddened to hear about Jackie’s passing. Jackie was loved by so many and had countless friends. She was kind, caring, cheerful and always thought of the needs of others before herself. My thoughts and prayers will be with her sweet family and dear friends over the days and weeks ahead.
