When someone we love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. Therefore , treasure the special times spent with Jacqueline-draw strength from the love of family and friends-and may God's word and his loyal love comfort you and help you through this difficult time. Psalms 119:50,76

My very sincere condolences for your loss of your sister and aunt. I worked with Jackie at Georgetown many years ago and had remained friends. She was a kind and caring woman whom will be missed. God bless you all. May she rest in peace.

Jackie was my classmate at Duke. Though I haven't had the chance to see her in some years I always enjoyed the times when we could catch up in DC. And our road trip to NC for the 20th reunion. My sincere condolences on the loss of your sibling and aunt. She made a wonderful contribution to the world of nursing.

Jacqueline survived many life challenges, but could not beat this cruel disease; she was intelligent and sweet, always putting others before herself, always. She was a loyal daughter, sister, and friend. She will be remembered lovingly as a friend and respected colleague. Fly, Jackie, fly!
