I'm so sorry for your loss. Jackie and I were good friends in high school. I know she will be missed.

Jackie was such a warm, loving and radiant spirit. Her presence inspired all of us in the Interfaith Opportunities Network to aspire to her warmth and her embrace of ION´s motto Unity and Diversity. Our prayers for her soul´s Journey. Ash Hartwell

I am thinking of you during this sad time, and hope your fond memories will ease your sorrow. My Sincere sympathy, Mary Breen

I knew Jackie through her participation in the Interfaith Opportunities Network where Jackie represented Hope Church. She brought a much needed, and generously given, perspective to a mostly white organization. I feel privileged to have known here, even briefly.
