We had great times together. One of the funniest was the time we went to a local restaurant to get a sale with a mountain of cheese and yummy warm bread. We loved this meal because we were on a very tight budget snd we could usually ask for a refill of the bread basket. Upon requesting a third refill the man we dubbed the "bread miser" told us we would have to pay for it. Could he not see we were just two poor, single and hungry young women!. We canceled the third bread basket and were always on the lookout for the bread miser each time we went back. Boy did we get a good laugh over that dining experience! Since we both worked in restaurants we knew they throw bread away all the time-sheesh! I still miss that girl!

News of our losing Jackie was late in reaching me but nonetheless devastating especially in light how she lifted the hearts of those near her. Peace be with you and to those whose hearts ache at her absence. John 15:5

I was so sorry to hear of this. Jackie was my best friend growing up. I remember lots of laughing, begging to spend the night, rollerskating, biking...She was smart, full of fun and imagination and an amazing friend I will always remember. May God give comfort to her loved ones.
