I had worked with Jackie many years ago. She was such a fun person to be around and always had a wonderful smile.

Lyle: On behalf of all of us with the Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation I wanted to send our sympathies to you and your family. Jackie had a tough journey yet did all she could to educate folks about inflammatory breast cancer in the midst of her own struggles. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time and in the days ahead.

Jackie was a ray of sunshine. She was an inspiration to us all. Her strength, during her battle, was amazing. She was truly a beautiful woman, inside and out. We are all better people for knowing her.
