Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I worked with Harold and remember meeting Jacqueline at the company family day picnic. Brief encounters to be sure but when my mother passed, I remember returning home one day to find 2 fresh baked pies on the table under my carport. I can't seem to remember if there was a note but do remember Harold asking me the next day if I found the pies. I replied in the affirmative and he said Jacqueline had baked them and delivered them. My wife must have been gone when she came by. For having such...

I was saddened to learn of the death of Jacquline. She was such a gifted, warm person. I recall her when we were in Huntsville in the 80s. I remember her at church and then visiting the beautiful farm and seeing the horses. I have delighted that we would share a note at Christmas and have kept somewhat in touch with Kathy. Blessings and peace on you all. With sympathy and prayers--Gail Coulter

I was fortunate enough to be Jacquline's college roommate for a year. We bonded immediately and had so much fun together. We lived in an apartment on 4th St. in Atlanta and it was right around the corner from the FOX Theater. Also, just a little bit further, but in walking distance, was the Krispy Kreme Donut place where they made donut's fresh 24/7.

So sorry to learn that she has passed away. She was a special lady. I have so many memories of her and her family.

We are so sad to learn of the passing of Jacqueline. She was special to us and she made me feel loved every time I saw her. We had so much fun visiting your home. Lowell is in the hospital or we would have tried to see you . He got moved out of icu last night. Harold, you and your family are in our prayers. With our prayers we send much love. Betty Zoller

Jacqueline was such a faithful, dear and caring friend to me for well over 60 years and I loved her with all my heart. While thinking about her today, words of a well-known song came to mind. Whether the times in my life were good or heartbreaking, she truly was always there when I needed her and she was "The Wind Beneath My Wings!" She was a woman of faith and an example of God's love!
