I was truly saddened to hear about Jackie's passing. She was very influential in my life during my time at Walker. The students and staff benefitted from her many skills and talents! She impacted so many people and did so much for the Walker community.

I know that words cannot take away the pain in a time like this but I hope you are comforted by knowing how much we all appreciated her!
