Just wanted to let you know that you are truly loved and missed. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I’ve seen you or heard your beautiful voice. You would be so proud of me and the kids. I just want to thank you for always being there and being you. We love and miss you so much. Continue to look over us ❤

Aunt Jackie,I can't even begin to express the love I have for you. I cherish every moment we had and will forever remember your laugh. It's amazing the strength you showed, I truly believe you were one of a kind. For you I will always wear my smile and do my best to make you proud. You were more than an aunt to me, we shared a bond that made me feel complete.I love you with all my heart and will never say goodbye, instead I say to you "see you later."
Your "Sweetpea"

It's been a month since you left us and all i seem to think about is you. As I listen to Janet Jackson's song "Together Again", I cry and laugh at the same time because I can see you in my mind teaching everyone this dance at my parent's christmas party. The words bring tears to my eyes because it is so true... "Everywhere I go, every smile I see, I know you are there, smiling back at me, dancing in the moonlight, i know you are free because I can see your star smiling back at me." I love and miss you so much, I am trying to stay strong for the family, but it's so hard right now!!! Ashley"Ms.One" Church

Without You I Feel So Lonely
Feel Like I Lost The Woman That Really Knows Me
Never Thought I Would Ever See U Leave
Hoping Its A Dream But In Reality I Grieve
Angry Inside Because I Knew U wanted To Stay
Some Say Your In A Better Place
But Very Hard To Hear What They Say
I Heard You Pray To The Lord To Keep You Here With Us
I Wished That You Would Be Cured But Seen You Struggle
The Worst Part Was Seeing You In Pain
Or Holding In My Rage When Some Spoke Your Name
I Feel That Im Going Insane, Reality Is Just Coming To Me
U Taught Me Nothing Is Just Giving
Had Dreams On Buying You A Home
Still Dont Believe That Your Gone
Since You Stopped Responding Ive Been In My Own Zone
It All Happened So Quick, Im Like How Did This Happen
Thank You For Raising Me All In Your Actions

Love You Ma!!! Miss U So Much!!!

"I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part.... God has you in his Arms. I have you in my heart."

We miss you and will always have you in our hearts

Cousin Ronnie and Family
I send my deepest condolences out to my beloved cousin Jackie. She was a sweetheart to all that knew her. I will never forget the time Me, my mom, and chip came over and she was scared of the chip's dog. She always made me laugh with her high spirits. Although she will be missed she will never be forgotton. Keep all faith strong in God. She's looking down smiling right now.
Love your cousin,

To the Yancey and Hendricks Family,
I extend my condolences to you all.
I met Jackie about 16 years ago and I just enjoyed talking to her. She was a very pleasant person that I have ever met. She talked about her family and I told her how blessed she was. She always had a smile on her face. God has sent for a special angel for his kingdom. I am glad to have known her,
God bless her family. She will be missed.

I'VE MISSED HER SO MUCH SINCE SHE RETIRED BUT KEPT HER IN MY PRAYERS AS I WILL DO ALSO FOR YOUR FAMILY. SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BUT ALWAYS LOVED. BE BLESSED AND KEEP YOUR MEMORIES ALIVE

September 19, 2010

Hi Ronnie the love that you and Jackie shared is a inspiration for the true definition of unconditional love!!! I've learned over time that - Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death. You and the children are in my daily thoughts and prayers. Love your cousin Yolanda Oliver-Yancey

I didn't personally know Mrs. Yancey but judging by the turnout at her funeral service she must have been a wonderful person. I have NEVER seen so many folks turn out to honor someone like I saw today. I had to find out just who would be held in such high esteem as to attract so many people. I am sorry for your loss.

September 17, 2010

Please accept my most sincerest condolences. I was raised in Youngs Park with the Hendricks family. Jackie was not only their big sister but she was like a big sister to me too. If she saw me acting up, she would always give me that look, like "you know better"! I didn't see her often once I became an adult but when I did she ALWAYS had that big, beautiful smile. We can rest assure that GOD took her to simply add to his patrol of angels. Rest in Peace JACKIE! My family and I are praying for you ALL, stay encouraged!!

Know that you are in my prayers and rest in knowing, your wife, mother, daughter, sister will be greatly missed and never forgotten, and most important Jackie loved the Lord and lived her life that she may reign with the Father and Son. The scripture reads, "To be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord." If we can be of any assistance or you need to just talk to someone, I am always available to you and the family.
With Love,

To Ron, Vion, Whitney, Cam and Family;
My heart goes out to you during this time but find comfort in knowing that Jackie loved the Lord and is now in heaven looking down on you. She was a special friend to me and my family and we will always keep her in our hearts. The burden is heavy now, but as time goes on it will get better just remember to look up for your comfort. We love you all and we're always just a whisper away.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we heard you, pass away. Although we prayed for you, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
