Not sure what to say?

Deborah & family, so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I knew her in Jr High; met your dad, & remember you & brother on 36th & Emerson, Mpls.

Jackie was a wonderful lady and beautiful painter. Her dry wit and sense of humor will be greatly missed. Blessing to her family.

We will miss Jackie's cheerful voice at Ceramics Plus of NM. We looked forward to seeing her come through our door and was always ready, willing and able to answer questions other potters posed. You can make as many sculptures as you want now! ..... Debbie Swansburg and David Meade, Ceramics Plus of NM

Jackie was creative, talented and a friend of mine and the potters' guild. Our holiday sales will not be the same without Jackie. She contributed to the Guild, Empty Bowls, the Munson Center and Las Cruces in many ways, unselfishly, never expecting a lot of credit. I miss her.

Empty Bowls and the Potters Guild will miss Jackie.

Jackie was a very dear friend! She was generous and helpful all the times we spent working on miniatures at her place or mine. I will miss the weekly visits we had and the times on the phone.
I miss you my friend.

My heartfelt condolences to Jacky's family, she was a very good friend and will be greatly missed by me.

Jackie Zappa will be greatly missed in Las Cruces. She was always there to help out with Empty Bowls and other Potters Guild functions.
She always added her special touch to PG functions. She made the most beautiful china painted eggs. I have some of her work and I will always cherish it. She invited me to Munsen center and taught me some of her techniques. She was very creative and was a lovely person in her own unique way.
