Hello Jackie,

Since mommy does not have a computer, I will send you a message from her. Words cannot express the pain she is in. She loves you so much and was so proud of you. She has so many pictures of you from a baby to an adult in her condo. You are so beautiful. She is especially happy that she spoke to you for 177 minutes on June 30th! It is such a shame that we lived so far away from you. As I told you on July 27th, if I lived closer to you , I would have picked you up....

Goodbye Jackie,

We love you and miss you so much. What a waste ...you are gone much too early!
It is a shame that you moved so far away. We all missed out on your outstanding personality and your presence.

With love,
ARRMM
