Jacqueline Mary Mistretta

Mrs Botelho,
I am so sorry to hear about Jackie. I only found out today. I have picked up the phone many times in the past months to call her but was afraid she might be gone.
Jackie was one of the best people I know. I am so glad that she was in my life. I am sorry that her life was so short.
I will miss her greatly. I am thinking of you. This must be such a difficult time for you.
Love,
Cheryl Hottenstein Ward

I feel saying sorry just isn't enough, but I am so sorry. Jackie was an amazing person, and I too have very fond memories of her from the barn. From Radar to Drummer, she was someone I always loved to watch ride. She always seemed like the perfect team when she rode. I admired that so much. My heart and prayers go out to you Mrs. Botelho. You raised a beautiful person and she will be sadly missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Jackie's passing. I grew up riding with her and she was a ROCK STAR to me and my friends. I can't tell you how many wonderful childhood memories I have that include her and the infamous Drummer Boy. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jackie was a very special person and a wonderful friend. I will always remember her smile and the good times we had. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I can't believe she is gone

Mom and Anthony and Maggie:
I miss my forever friend, Jackie.
I wish that she knew how much I loved her.
I also wish that I had the chance to say goodbye.
Although she is no longer with us, she is forever in our hearts.
Please remember that I am here, and remember to please turn to me should you ever need to.
Love, Heidi

To Mrs Botelho:
I am so sorry to hear of Jackie's passing...she was such a good person.
I have nothing but fond memories of the long days at shows with her and Jen and the gang, and all the goodies you brought. She was a wonderful rider, and a great friend.
My thoughts are with you.

Our prayers are with you and your family. I attended the memoral service and was moved by the the poem you read. I would love to have a copy of it. I worked with Jackie for many years on 9A, she was a great friend and a very compassionate nurse. Sincerely Gail and Ed Pendergast

Jacqueline came into my life in my 49th year, after I suffered a massive brain hemorage in 2000 I spent 10 days in her care at the surgical intensive care unit of Naples Community Hospital. Her professionalism and compassion where a God send. Myself and my entire family are in her debt forever.

I had met Jackie but a few times but I was truly impressed as to what a nice person she was. Having had 3 daughters, I know how loving a daughter can be. When I read of her passing, I cried. So young!
My prayers and thoughts are with you.
