What a sweetheart Jackie was. She was a volunteer of mine at Meals on Wheels. Always a pleasure to work with.

My condolences to Bobby, Patty and all the family. Aunt Jackie and Uncle Eddie were two of my favorite people in this family. When my Grandparents were both gone they were like surrogate grandparents to me. So kind and loving. Always happy to see you. So warm and welcoming. I will miss her and I'll pray for them both and the family.
