I didnt know Jacquelyn but my thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends..She seemed like a beautiful person inside and out. It is so sad her life was cut so short in such a tragic way. She didnt even get the chance to get married and start a family, its devastating. The only solace is that she is in a better place and she is at peace. She is in the arms of the lord, an angel up above. And when i lost the closest person to me the only way i could move on was knowing that one day i would see her again. And that is what i hope her parents and friends know that one day they will be with her again.
Thoughts and Prayers, Christy Condolora

Dear Sweet, Beautiful Jackie,

My heart breaks for all who know you because all who know you have broken hearts today. You Dear Sweet lady left such an indelible mark on everyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting you!
You were highly recommended to me as a fantastic Master Barber, and that recommendation was spot on! You were a consummate professional who took her art seriously, and it showed.! Little did I know at the time that this fabulous professional barber would become such a dear friend and quite frankly, to me, like an adopted daughter. You brought such joy to me. Your optimism, determination and great attitude about life was inspiring and motivating. You truly were like a ray of golden sunshine on a cloudy day!
My heart felt prayers go out to your friends and especially your family, I can't begin to imagine the grief they must be experiencing. My family will be praying for your family, my memories of you will always be wonderful, and my hope is to see you again someday in Glory! Rest in peace sweet girl....Heaven and its angels just received a bright ,beautiful,shining star!
Love love love!
