Julie and family, I was SO sad to hear this news and can't imagine the pain you are feeling. Jacqueline was such a sweetheart in preschool - one of those kids you'd like to take home. When you would get her and Stephanie together, we would wonder what they would be up to - best friends and mom's best friends. I really miss those days. I also miss those talks we would have, Julie, and miss seeing Betty too. Your family is VERY special to me. Now, just rest in HIS arms and let HIM guide your days and know that there will be a BIG party some day in Heaven when we will all be together. Love you so much. You continue to be in my prayers.

I am praying for our Lord to wrap his arms around you and dry your tears. If I can help you in any way, please let me know.

My dear Julie and Larry, my heart aches for you. I didn't meet Jackie but I know her parents and they are good people. You will learn from our Lord why he called Jackie to earn her wings. I am praying to our Lord to wrap his arms around you. I am the Robyn you knew years ago. If I can do anything for you let me know!

One of the most beautiful girls I ever knew. This seriously breaks my heart. I never thought this is how your life would end all those years ago watching you grow up. You and Calvin were the joys of my life and kept me going when life got hard. U touched my heart in so many ways...to the family. I miss you all and losing her has made me really want to reconnect...cause we never know what will happen. Jacqueline....I'm so sorry I never did get to have the coffee with you. I'm really at a loss for words. I just know that whenever I thought abt you and your brother from the past it always put a smile on my face...and I will always cherish those moments.

Julie, It is hard for us to understand why your daughter was taken from you, but find comfort in the memories of her that you will always carry in your heart. Betty, it helps that Nancy will be showing Jackie around Heaven.
