Mr. Thompson, I can't tell you how much we loved and appreciated Jacque. She inspired Rachel and made it possible for her to excel in her skill. Coming to your house was about so much more than just music. We loved to see Jacque's art on display and it was just a joy to encounter her sweet spirit. We are most blessed to have known this dear lady.

Jacque was one of the greatest women I've been privileged to know. She had a generous heart and never hesitated to let you know where she stood on things. I was lucky enough to have her as my mother-in-law for a number of years, and she remained a friend always. She will be greatly missed.
