Not sure what to say?

This is very late. I just found out today that Jackie is gone.

I was Frank and Jackie's next door neighbor for eight years. Frank and Jackie would cat sit for us when we travelled, we shared meals back and forth, and chatted in our front yards during warm months.

Upon moving away, I was delighted to discover what a wonderful letter writer Jackie was! Each Christmas I always looked forward to her nice LONG letter that was filled with stories of that year's travels,...

Jackie married my cousin Frank. Frank, like myself, married very, very well! I am a pastor of a large, evangelical church and I have known thousands of Christ followers, and Jackie was one of the most authentic and delightful that I have ever known. The memorial celebration today was wonderful. Jackie honored her Lord, even after she was in His presence! Thank you, Lord, for Jackie. She was a gift from you to us. Frank, we will pray for you and love you.

Frank & family, please accept our most sincerest condolances. Jackie was a wonderful lady and a special member of our family. Sending love to you all.

Frank my prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Jackie will be missed by all at NPPC. I wish I could be there for you when her life will be celebrated on the 26th. Know my thoughts will be with you.

David, the Psalmist, said it best: "How beautiful in God's sight is the (passing) death of one of his saints."

She has certainly fulfilled the ONE requirement of a servant: "to be found...

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

It is always very sad to read where a classmate has moved on. My prayers are with you Frank and the rest of your family in this time of sorrow.

My birthday sister, Jackie was one of the nicest people I've ever known. Full of joy and a joy to be with. And now she's safe in her Savior's arms hearing him say, "Well done my good and faithful friend." Terry Whitley

Jackie Phillips became one of my cherished friends in our Church. She is most certainly with God and his Angels.
