Not sure what to say?

To Neil and family.... can remember the days of yore at Emanuel's OR's (prior Jackie's move to Mt Hood). What great times we had on and off work with our committed Surgical team. Jackie was one of the bravest and most determined individuals I can remember regarding her tenacity to fight a long and hard battle in order to share the life and growth of family and friends. She will be missed by many, but not forgotten.

My sincerest condolences to Jackies family and friends who knew her best. I had many of wonderful conversations over a cup of coffee in the OR lounge.
I know that Jackie was a inspiration to her students, she was really liked and respected by them.
I was taken aback when I learned about her passing. I just didnt' know she was ill again.
Prayers to all and peace be with you.

Dear Neil and family,
Besides her physical beauty, Jackie had a great heart and an easy laugh. Always fun and interesting to be around. She will be greatly missed. Joe will have no one with whom to celebrate his April 17th birthday. Our thoughts are with you and we are here to support you in any way we can.

Love, Joe and Sharon

Dear Neil, I didn't find out about Jackie until late last week, and didn't find out about the memorial until today. I'm sorry
I wasn't there to toast her life. She will always be an angel
helping us out with the truffle making. Those times we had
always will be very special to us. If you or Andre or Brian
ever want to make some more, we're always open. Thanks for all the good times.

Dear Neil,
Mike and I were so sorry to learn that your beloved wife passed away. We missed you at the Fourth of July party and wondered where you were. Jackie was a lovely, bright light to all who had the pleasure of meeting her. Our sincere condolences to you and your family.

I met Jackie during an informational meeting regarding the surgical technology program at MHCC. She was so encouraging about my change of career. I have a lot to be thankful for, she made me a better surgical technologist than I could have ever dreamed of.

I will miss her at the surgical technology conferences and clinical days at St. Vincent.

My thoughts and prayers to the family.
She will live in everyone's (surgical technologist) heart and mind.

I remember meeting Jackie when I entered the surgical tech program at MHCC. She was such a strong person and wanted you to do your best. I look back and realize that although she was tough, she was making me a better technologist than I could ever have imagined. My thoughts and prayers to Jackie's family and please know how many lives Jackie touched and made a difference.
