Al, Tommy, Mike & Leslie - my deepest sympathies and prayers go out to you and the entire Family. Jackie was a real sweetheart and we will all miss her.

My deepest sympathy to Al, Tom, Mike, Leslie and to the entire extended family for the loss of your beloved wife, mother, grandmother. May you find the strength to get through this difficult time. Jackie always put her family first, and I am lucky and fortunate that she considered me a friend. Jackie opened her heart and home to me over 30 years ago when I first moved to the area. I can still taste those delicious twice baked potatoes she made. We shared many laughs on our "bingo night"....
