Mr. Bill and Greg,

I am just returning from a business trip, and was saddened to read of Jackie's passing.

Jackie was my first supervisor. She was loving and caring, and I always appreciated how she "loved" on the young women in the office, and how she shared words of wisdom. Her laughter --oh, how I loved to hear her laugh.

Jackie also taught me to be joyful, no matter what the circumstance. I will remember her for the way she would dance around the office at Virginia National Bank (now Bank of America), just like she was on the ballroom floor. She even taught us a step or two! About 6 years ago, I saw her and Mr. Bill in Food Lion in Deep Creek, and she was still joyful. I thank God for her and how she shared her happines with everyone that she knew.

May God's peace comfort you today and always.
