It saddens our heart that this family has lost someone so dear to them. We are praying for the healing of this family through God's mercy and understanding. It is always sad to lose a loved one, much less one's mother. Please know that there are many people you all might not even know praying for your family know. We love Jackie as a member of our own family and therefore we grieve with you all. God bless this family in the days to come as the days ahead get easier.

Jeanette and Buz,
At times like these words are difficult. However those that care and love you and we are many are putting the power of Prayer and God's Love behind you. So many times both of you have been there for me. If you need anything at all, dont hesitate.

For not a single tear will fall that the Father doesn't see.
