Nicole & Brittany
I want to let you know how sorry I was to hear of your mother's death. She was a radiant and wonderful lady who enjoyed life to the fullest.

I know that it seems like a sad ending of a life, but I have faith that your mom is on a wondrous journey to reap her just rewards. Hers was a good and blessed life and the happiness and joy that she brought to all of us will live on in her memory.

I think that mothers are one of God's greatest blessings, and your mom was no exception. Her angelic smile and sweet voice made her a joy to be around. I will miss her dearly.

I ask for God's choicest blessings on you and your family. May your faith guide you and comfort you in your sadness.

In love and faith,

Donna Munson & family

Jackie was a bright ray of sunshine here on Earth and she will be an even brighter one in Heaven. Heaven is lucky to have such an amazing and strong person. Keep the best memories with you always and know that she suffers no more. I feel it an honor to have known Jackie from the time she was pregnant with Nicole and will miss her until we meet again :)
