Betty and Paul, We are so sorry about the lose of Jackie. I can still see her sweet smiling face as she got on my school bus. And Dean and your family were very close. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless You All.
The hardest part of loss is understanding why. We lose our loved ones and others who also loved her ask why. Who might have this answer to why? All I can say is this, I was honored and privileged to have known, taught and loved this young woman. My life has been better for it. I commend you on your parenting not only of Jacquie but of your other children whom I taught .May God give you the strength and comfort and know that God has a most precious addition to his family!
