I played canasta with Jackie 7 years and so enjoyed her sweet nature and wonderful sense of humor. She talked very lovingly of her family and early childhood days. She was very supportive to my daughter,who was also part of the canasta group, and myself during my daughter's cancer diagnoses always showing compassion with a dose of humor. I so love her and will always cherish my memories of Jackie. God's speed, dear heart, you will always be missed.

I worked with Jackie for 9 years at Dr. Holley's office. We stayed in touch all these years - frequently meeting for breakfast just to catch up on our lives. She was so proud of her kids, grandkids and great grandkids - I will miss our visits. Anyone who knew her loved her. God bless you, Jackie, and may He bring comfort to your family and friends.
