Larry Callaway Obituary

They were a beautiful couple, married 27 years. Their love for each other, their children and their family is an example to all who know and love them.

Larry is survived by his father, Tom, Brother Anthony (Cindy), Sisters Sharon (Mike) and Delinda (Jeff) and many nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. Jacque is survived by brothers Charles (Sandy), Tom (Lori) and Barry. Sisters Deanna and Lucinda and many nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. Services will be held Sat. Sept. 15th; 2:00 p.m. at Chapel of the Chimes 7924 N 59th Ave. Glendale.

I miss you both still. We were all so blessed to have you both in our lives. I think of you both so often. You were both so loving and giving. There will always be a missing piece here without you both. Love you always.

I heard about Jackie's passing a few years ago. I was just watching the movie, Grease, that Jackie (Crutchfield) Callaway was in. This is what prompted me to look her up online this morning (8/24/24).

I am so sorry to hear about the death of Jackie and her husband, Larry. I went to Carl Hayden High School with her, although I graduated in 1980. I came to be acquainted with Jackie through the drama club there. Her brother, Barry, was in my class. I remember her as a very beautiful and very kind soul. The world is a sadder and darker place without her in it.

My dear and precious Larry and Jacque. Words aren't adequate to really express how deeply you are both missed. There is a void that just can't be filled. There was only one Larry and one Jacque. You were both special people in your own rights, but the two of you together was truly a blessing from heaven. You shared your love and generosity to everyone that knew you. I have so many precious memories that I will cherish forever, until that glorious day that we meet again. I love you, my dear brother and sister, always and forever.

My precious Larry and Jacque, you are both remembered and held dear in my heart, as I know you are in all our hearts. You are missed so very much. Your love and kindness cannot be replace. There is a great void that could not be filled by anyone else. I am grateful for the time I got to spend with you both. Love you my brother and sister.

I miss you terribly Jacque...your uplifting, sweet voice & tender heart...you are one in a billion. True friends know how to make time for one another and that time is always CHERISHED...that was us! May the Lord bring your family & mine happy trails until we all meet again. Until then, I toast a glass of iced tea to you, Larry & all your family that misses your beautiful presence.

As this guest book is comimg to a possible end-I kept up with reading the entries all these four years and I could feel the pain that still came with-the familia of both of these loving humans. one I went to high scholl with and always admire from a far and her husband who you could tell was gentleman. They both were taken way to early but you knew in your heart that they had lived their lives and touch many including me. I will never forget Jacque and the class of 1977. I too found myself at deaths door this past May 2011 with a detached aorta and lived to tell about it. it makes you appreciate all that you have lived for.To the children and the blessed three grand children-your souls and spirits will forever be blessed with jacque and larry callaway and I know that Jacque lived her life the way you would always see her in the 1970's-She was Very Special. That is how you all will carry on. That is what she and larry would have wanted. I first sigh the guest book on October 24th,2007 and the words written still mean alot in this year 2011 and on forever. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Aunt Jacque and Uncle Larry
First of all Happy Birthday Aunt Jacque, I didnt know we could still sign the quest book, Your granparents again, you have three grandsons, Brianna is a MaMa and Curt and Jas have 2 boys, I know you have been looking down and watching all of us and I know you were there to see your grandbabies come into our lives. I miss you and think of all our Loved ones with you It never get easier
Love Starr

Larry and Jac. It's so hard to believe that almost 4 years have gone by. And over 2 for Tiff. You are all missed beyond imagination. All of you brought so much joy and happiness to our family. We have our precious memories, and I'm grateful for that. Some families don't have that. But sometimes the missing of talking to you all and seeing your smiles, hearing your voices and your laughter, hugging you, is just so intense. The void is great, and the fabric of our family is different. It's like a beautiful tapestry that has had holes torn in it and you can't patch it to make it the same as it was. Well I guess I'm getting melancholy. Enough.
Brianna will have her baby any day now and we are all anxiously waiting. It will be bittersweet for us all. Know that we will be there for her to help her to experience the joy of it. And we will as always, be thinking of you.
Love Sharon

I don't even know where to start...Besides how grateful I am...I was lucky enough to be blessed with a friend I met in grade school (1970). We became the best of friends her name was Jacque...we stayed very close even though it had to be a long distance relationship for 19 years of it. It never mattered how much time slipped by between us, as soon as we spoke it was always as if we had spoke yesterday. I adored Jacque in my eyes she could walk on water and no one could tell me any different....I finally moved back to the valley in 2000 and was able to visit Jacque & Larry...too funny we both married (Larry's)I guess they charmed us off our feet...Speaking of charms one year I didn't know what to be for Halloween and Jacque said how about a Smarty Pants just tape smarty candies all over yourself...It still makes me giggle now...I still can't get over the shock of them being gone...and I know they would be so proud of their children....Like the song says one day at a time sweet Jesus, we just try to survive the best we can until we meet again and rejoice together with our maker...The Good Lord Always Seems To Take The Best First...I have a ache in my heart that will never go away...Love Always And Forever

P.S. I just pray you can lift Jacque & Larry's children and close nit family up when there down so they can feel the spirit of there lost loved ones and not hurt so much....
Thanks & God Bless Sincerely Coreen

Dear Aunt Jacque & Uncle Larry,

I can't believe it has been two years since your passing. The pain is always with me, but I try to fill my heart with warm memories of when we were all together. I visited Resthaven Park this morning and your bench marker is beautiful! The park coordinator will have it set in place at the end of this week. I made you the most beautiful flower arrangement, it is adorned with pink roses, ribbon, hearts, crystal butterflies and wedding bands. I miss you and think of you everyday. You are in my heart forever..
Love,
Jennifer

Hey Aunt Jac and Uncle Lar, Kevin and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary last Friday. I came across our wedding video and just had to watch it. It’s so precious to me, not just because it has our wedding footage but because watching it I knew Uncle Lar was filming and Aunt Jac, you are all over it. It brought back such special memories of that day, Jacque doing my make-up and helping me get ready and Uncle Lar being there the whole time behind the camera.

Our wedding cake, your first wedding cake was so beautiful. 365 individual flowers! What a pain that must have been but you didn’t say a word and were happy to do it.

You also sang us a telegram. It’s so awesome that you were such an enormous part of that special day with us. Those are memories I’ll always hold close to my heart. I love you both and miss you every day. Your niece, Marcy

They say it gets easier after the first year, but thats a lie.
You both are still in my dreams all the time, its almost bitter sweet. i hate waking up after because the reality sets in that it was only a dream and i have to go throughout my day knowing i wont see you untill i fall asleep again.
I miss you both more and more with each passing day, some days hurt worse that others but the hurt is always there.
The family is the only thing getting me through, with out our family i dont know were i would be now.

I know you guys are so proud of Curt and Jazz, they remind me so much of you guys. And Jackson, oh wow i think that you come down and put ornery ideas into his head daddy. Making sure that me curt n jazz are always on our toes.

I know you guys are always around somewhere looking out for all of us. i just wish that you could be here with me now, i know that is so selfish but i cant help to think it.

Thank you guys so much for raising me and curt right. You guys are the ones who made us so strong.
I hope you guys are proud of me, ive been trying my best to be someone you guys can be proud of. Im trying to be like you Mom.

I know its late so this probably wont show up as the 11th, but Happy Birthday Daddy, i love you.
I love you too Momma

oh and daddy, can you sprinkle some angel dust on the cowboys please.

Dearest Larry and Jacque,
I think of you every day, and still miss you so. I know you're with the Lord and that gives me peace. I love thinking of old times, all the things we did together, all the fun we had. I still get so tickled at the things you two would do. I also love looking at pictures and the memories they bring me. I know that you can look down on us and watch our daily lives. I'm sure you are as proud of Curtis and Bri as we all are. They are strong and that is a testimony to the wonderful parents they have. And thank the Lord for Jazz and Jackson. She is a wonderful wife and mother and he is precious and sweet. I just miss you so very much. We have enjoyed going to your house many times in the past year, and I can feel you both there. It is still a warm and loving home and we enjoy going to visit, and having gatherings. I feel at peace there because I can feel your presense. I love you both and miss you lil bro and sis. Love Always and Forever!!!!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Hey guys-
I think of you both and miss you every day. I can hardly believe it’s been a year since we lost you. They say it is supposed to get easier with time but whoever said that never lost anyone as precious as the two of you.

I was watching a DVD from Kevin’s 40th Birthday party and it included video of you two talking about me and Kevin. Uncle Larry, you made some crack about me wetting my pants which was just hilarious. As a kid, I could always count on you (or Uncle Barry) to swing me or tickle me until that happened. I was so overwhelmed with joy at seeing you both and hearing your voices again. It was like finding treasure just being able to see you both smiling on film. It is very brief but I watch it over and over again and never fails to make me smile through my tears.

We went on the cruise to celebrate Gina’s 40th birthday this past weekend. We got to spend the entire weekend with Starr which was wonderful. We just don’t get to see her often enough.

My mom and Gina are missing you too and thinking of you always.

I love you both and hope you know that not a day goes by that I don’t feel thankful to have had you in my life and there isn’t a day when I don’t miss you. All my love – your niece, Marcy

Dear Aunt Jacque,
I want to wish you a Happy Birthday!!!! I know you and Larry are together celebrating your very special day. One of my most favorite memories is when you would sing me a birthday telegram. “Ladies and Gentleman can I have your attention please…..It’s Jacque’s Birthday“!!! I always loved when you would sing, you had everyone in the room mesmerized by your presence. I miss hearing your voice and seeing your beautiful smile. I love and miss you.
Love,
Jennifer

We were at your house Saturday night to visit the kids. We miss you both so very much. Curtis and Brianna are both a tribute to what wonderful parents you both are, and Jasmine is a true blessing. Jac, you were with us on Mother's Day. It is very difficult to grasp the fact that you are not with us here anymore. I miss you so much and wish I had told you both more over the years how much you were both loved and appreciated. You both were the most generous and loving people. Larry you were a wonderful brother and I am thankful that I got to grow up with you. I think of all the things we did as kids and then as teen-agers, and what a wonderful man you grew to be and my heart is full of love. Jac you were a beautiful and loving sister. We could have looked the world over and never been able to find a more loving sister. I am grateful for that. I think of you so often, and of all the love you gave to us. I wish I could put my arms around you both for a hug. I miss that. You two set a perfect example of how we should all live our lives. I will always treasure you both-always. God has blessed us all, and I thank Him for giving you two to us.

Hey you two,

Well as Easter approaches it brings wonderful memories of last year at your house. Thoughtful as always Jacque you had a Easter egg hunt for Zack and Tommie Lynn. You even made little baskets for them. Oh ya and I didn't forget the little toy flashlight you got for Tristan, he cut his first tooth that day. I am so glad we got to share so many special times with you both! How I wish we could be together this year!
As you know Christian is off to bootcamp, please watch over him and keep him protected from the evils of this world! We all will also be praying for his safe, but exciting journey.
We miss you so very much and know you will be showering us with little blessings! Even though you are physically gone our love for you will never pass! Happy Easter!

With love and kisses,
Delinda

I am not sure how to start. This is the first time I have written and it's taken me a long time to get here. I miss them. That's all I can really say. My heart aches and there's no replacement as the tears stream down my face right now.

I just got home from a family outing which was a ton of fun and which we don't do enough, and which we should do more, but I am the worst at that, I know.

All I can think is how much Jac and Lar would have loved to have been there and how much fun we all would have had together tonight.

Again, I miss them. I miss them with every fiber of my being. I miss them so very very much.

I want them to know that everyone is handling their loss as best they can but everyone misses both of them so very much, me, Marcy, mom, Starr, Dee, Jennifer . . . and these are only a very few that I see regularly.

You two were the core of us and we are trying to be normal, regular and move on, but I must say, it's difficult. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you both.

The last day we spoke and we were looking forward to seeing each other in Vegas - that last hug, that last kiss, I will cherish with everything I have in me forever. I still have Jac's last lil note to me that she sent on a Partylite catalog. It's stuck to my mirror in my bedroom. I look at it every day and remember them both . . . I want the love of my life to be just like your's, and I would want to be with that person just like you two are. If nothing else can give me comfort for the loss of both of you, it's that you are together and I know in my heart that is where you would both always want to be.

I miss you . . . I love you . . . til we meet again . . . your niece - Gina

PS Jackson's a lil piece of heaven, but you both already know that !!!

Dear Jacque and Larry,
I am so sorry its been so long since I've talked with you. Uncle Larry I missed your Birthday so Happy belated Birthday I Love You. I've been having a very difficult time dealing with the loss of both of you. I can't deal with it all I just can't believe you are not here with us and I pray everynight you would come to me in my dreams. Mom and I had lunch with Bri she seemed like she was doing well. Jackson is a little doll he's so happy I think he's a lot like his Grandpa always smiling and happy. Jacque and Larry you were so proud to be Grandparents and we all know you would have been the greatest. I have a adorable picture of Jackson from the holidays. When we are together we always get in a circle and celebrate the both of you. I'm so glad we still have this book it makes me feel so much better to write my thoughts and feelings and I feel I'm talking with you, so Jacque I'm saying I Love You because that's how we always ended our phone calls and a hug and kiss to both of you from your niece. I love and miss both of you and you'll never be forgotten Starr

To the Family of Jacque and Larry,

I was recently at Liz Mewes house (where I first met Jacque at Bunko) and we had a small group get together. I always think of Jacque when I drive over there and as I am visiting. She always had a smile and a warm welcome for me. She made me feel like I had known her for all our lives. I regret that I did not do more with Jacque nor get to meet Larry.

They certainly had "Camelot" in their own world. I can tell from all the people that loved them and how they express it on this legacy guest book.

Thank you to whoever kept it going for the year. The thoughts and memories do not stop. Neither does the mourning and feeling of loss.

God Bless Jacque and Larry's family. They were loved dearly.

Hi Larry and Jacque,
We all love you and miss you very much and think of you both every day. Wish you were here to hug and to talk to. You're both so very special and I believe that it's true-some people are just too good to stay here on this earth and God gives them a fast track to Heaven. It leaves us here to miss that special love that you both always shared. I hold that very close to my heart in all the beautiful memories. What a wonderful life you both lived here!!! Love you Both Beau Coup. Your Big Sis

I miss you guys so much. I still can’t believe that this has happened. It all seems so unfair to me that the two of you have been taken from us. I have dreams all the time that I am able to go back and tell you not to get in the car or get on the road that day and that this can somehow be prevented and we can keep you here with us. I miss you both and love you so much. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and wish you were here. Thinking of you and missing you always-Marcy

I'm sorry you won't be here for Jacksons first Christmas my heart feels so empty without you I still can't get over the fact that I can't pick the phone up and hear your beautiful gentle voice and you say I Love You or something funny that happened or you did. These Holidays are going to be very difficult for all of us but we have each other. You would be proud of the kids they are doing good. Brianna is so beautiful everyone at the reunion thought she looked just like you (what a compliment huh) we all Love you very much. Tell everyone with you I Love them and Happy Holidays.

To the Callaway and Crutchfield Families:

It is with great sadness that I read that one of the brightest and shining stars of the Class of 1977 is no longer with us. Jacque was someone you meet and never forget. Her name comes up in conversion when you talk about the high school years for our class, and after thirty years to have someone leave this much impact on a group is truly remarkable. By the other entries she still was the nice,kind person we remembered and we were truly blessed to have had the pleasure of someone of this caliber however brief touch our lives.

My condolences to all those touch by these tragic losses.

Sincerely,

S Trevizo

I first met Larry as his Yellow Page rep for Mountain Bell when he opened up his business. I sat down with Jackie and Larry at their kitchen table and we drew up an ad together.That was over 20 years ago.He was a good friend and I shall miss them both. I just now heard the tragic news because I retired from the YP job 3 years ago, but always kept in touch. They were warm, friendly and loved life. The shall be missed and the shock of their passing remains. God Bless.

Not a day goes by we aren't thinking about you. You are missed by all of us so much. Tom, Lori, Mom, Cinda, Curtis, Brianna, AJ and I went to your class reunion it was so nice having it dedicated to you jac. They had a beautiful picture of you from the year book that everyone could sign. Everyone was so nice you would of loved it. Everyone that spoke to us about you all had the same things to say, how sweet, kind and caring you were, but we all new that. But it was a very nice reunion. Uncle Tom got up and spoke about what happened.
Larry I miss you so much also but I know you are still taking care of jacque. Jacque tell grandma I love her and miss her very much. With grandma we new she was sick but with you and larry it is so terrible and hard to grasp you are actually gone. I love all my family and this has changed the way you think everyday they leave for work or school or anywhere. I will never forget the good times and I love you both very much
Love Always your Niece Starr

It was at the Friday evening dinner of the 30th Carl Hayden High School Class of 1977 reunion that I learned of Jacque's untimely passing. Her picture that we all sign is how I will always remember her. REST IN EVER LASTING PEACE Jacque and Larry.

To the FAMILIA's of the Callaway's and Crutchfield's I am so sorry for your loss.

It was very special tribute that the reunion was dedicated to Jacque. She was all CLASS. I remember her well. She was very beautiful. To see her family attend the reunion in her Honor was even more special. Her daughter was as beautiful as her mother. May GOD BLESS you all in this still very difficult time.

Know that her and Larry are in HEAVEN watching over you all as ANGELS.

God Bless their SOULS.....

PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL.

To all of Jacque and Larry's family: I was browsing the high school reunions and unfortunately learned of the tragic news. I remember Jacque from high school. I was at Carl Hayden for two years, and during that time, Jacque was always a very sweet and dear friend. Unfortunately, I left for another high school and lost contact with Jacque. It is clear that Jacque has a very loving family and tons of friends who love her and her family very much. My deepest condolensces to Jacque and Larry's family.

Larry and Jacque,
My heart is so heavy with missing both of you. I long to talk to you and to be able to hug you. I know that I am hurting for myself, and that you are both in the presence of the Lord, but I still do miss you so very much. You can both be so proud of Curtis and Brianna. I'm sure that you are-I sure am. You both left a wonderful legacy in them. You raised strong children that are full of love. Although I know how much they hurt, they are doing well. May the Lord continue to hold them in His loving and capable arms.
Love you always and until we meet again. Your big sis.

Karen (Lishinski) Watchorn

October 7, 2007

My husband and I wrote this eulogy which he read at Jacque and Larry’s funeral.

On behalf of the entire Watchorn family, I offer my deepest condolences to the families of Jacque and Larry Callaway.

It doesn’t seem that long ago that I had the privilege of saying a few words on the joyous occasion of Jacque and Larry’s 25th wedding anniversary. Now after what feels like the briefest of intervals, I do so again, this time with a heavy heart.

For me, it is not the fact that they passed away together which I consider most tragic. That we find it hard to imagine one without the other suggests that, perhaps, it was divine provenance. After all, many of history’s classic and endearing love stories say it must be so. What is most tragic, however, is that each had so much more to give - to those fortunate to have been called friends, to their families and, of course, to each other.

Curtis:

Your father was a "weatherman". He altered the temperature of his surroundings, not just with a wrench, but also with a countenance that put everyone at ease, most importantly, your mother. Whenever clouds formed on her horizon, it was your father who showered her with the love and support needed to shelter her from the storm’s effects. That he continues to do so will hopefully give you the same comfort it does me. You inherited those broad shoulders for a reason; the weight they now bear will lighten with each step. You have been given the gift of observing how a man should conduct himself, both privately and professionally. These teachings you now apply within your own home and with the guidance of your family and partners at Valley Services, the seeds your father planted will bring forth happiness and prosperity.

Breanna:

Your mother sang a cheerful song throughout her life even when the music around her struck a sour note. She invited all to join her chorus and those that did are the better for it. Like the sun, her love radiated in every direction, touching all who drew near. Your mother kept you especially close for a reason – causing no one to be touched more than you. Use this life enriching source of energy to be a comfort to your brother as he will instinctively watch over you. You were born on the fourth of July, a day of celebration. Celebrate life and the memory of your parents. There are countless opportunities which await you, and know that your parents continue to steer your course.

* * *

There are a group of friends who went to school with Jacque. A little over 10 years ago they convinced themselves that they weren’t too old to have a slumber party. And so the tradition began. They rotated the gatherings between their respective homes in California and Arizona every few years. One year Jacque gave a beautifully framed poem to each of her friends as a gift. It touched them very deeply and is even more meaningful now. It goes like this:

“Whether by strange coincidence or divine guidance, in the course of our life we cross paths with many people. Some move towards us - others move away. Some we choose to remember, others to forget.

But with a special few we seem to have no choice for each has made an impact on the other and their memory will live on forever.

These people we call friends - you, to me, are such a one.”

While the poet is little known, his words are powerful indeed.

Jacque and Larry - we are so lucky to have had your friendship. You will be missed.

To the family of Jacque and Larry. I had the privilege of meeting both of them and all of you in 2002-04. You are the closest family I have ever known and I know your love and the lord will guide you through this pain. I feel for your lost so much and wish there was something I could do. Please do remember that now they are up above watching over all of you. God bless you all and my prayers goes out to you.

Jacque and Larry. I didn't get the chance to meet Larry but from everything I have read and heard you we're the perfect couple. I've meet Jacque at Isaac Jr. High and then attended Carl Hayden HS with her and of course graduated with her in 1977. We had a lot of great times together. She was the pretty girl (Pom line) and I was the athlete (softball). As everyone knows you were one of a kind. So very popular in so many ways. You looked so beautiful and full of life at our last reunion. It was so much fun talking about the good old days. Always down to earth, helpful, peaceful, beautiful, and of course always willing to help. It's not fair the way you and Larry were taken away from us but I guess the higher lord has better plans for the both of you. My condolences to your children and family. I love you too Jacque and Larry. If I were to go...may sound a little harsh but I would want to go with my companion after being together for 28 years. May you both find peace of mind together. Your family will be well taken care of.
Love,
Jeja Mesquita. (Wally and Cecelia Cochran)

She sang a cute little song on my wedding reception video in 1988 ~ (and she did a mean limbo too!) I did not know Larry, but I could see the special love they had for each other. You are in my thoughts and I will be praying God comforts you with sweet memories. God Bless, Michelle Green

DearJacque
and Larry
Jacque I miss you both so much, I still feel the need to call you on
the phone just to here a funny story, like the one you told me the
night before all of this happened about how you sold 7 plates by
accident on ebay and only had 1 and everyone was mad at you and going
to write bad reports about you to ebay well don't worry they'll get
over it. I also miss your sweet voice saying I love you everytime
before we hung the phone up. Remember how mom would call you scarlett
your big beautiful house larry built especially for you he always took
such good care of you, mom would say that was your tara so that must
mean larry is your rhett butler. You 2 sure have come along way from
your little house off of glendale to your beautiful home larry designed
with special cubby holes in the hall for your Miss Arizona crown. Where
you would run your electric wheelchair into the new cabinets and rip a
door off and larry would patiently fix it. You have a class reunion
coming up and they are dedicating it to you isn't that wonderful. I saw
curtis,jasmine,bri,and your pride and joy baby jackson last night at
ginas 40th we sure all missed you 2. Sharon and delinda were also there
don't worry we are going to keep our families in contact we are going
to have a girls night jacque I have a feeling you'll be with us. Try
not to worry about the kids they are well taken care of. Everyday I
wonder how something this terrible could of happened to 2 wonderful
people who are so loved by all of us. It hurts so bad still and I miss you and love you everyday. Your niece starr

I wanted to say thank you
to all of you who came to the beautiful services and also to the ones
who had to stand, and for all the beautiful flowers. Also thank you for
writting in the quest book its very heeling writting and reading all
the wonderful things you have to say about Jacque and Larry please keep
writting.

My heart filled sorrow and condolence to the families. I was on the pom line with Jacque. The great fun we had is indescribable. Pom camp, piling all 10 of us in her car, ect…. Or the time she did singing telegrams. She really enjoyed life which spread to all of us. I’ll always remember her laugh & smile. I didn’t know her husband to well, I only met him once, but I know they were happy together. My prayers go to all of you and may God Bless you and comfort you in this time.

My deepest symothy goes to all of Jacque and Larry's family. My heart breaks with you. I went to school with Jacque during our high school years. Jacque was very special to me, my first daughter was named after Jacque. She has always been in my thoughts as the years have pasted by. My daughter is now 30 and was looking forward to meeting her namesake.
Jacque will always be dear to me and close to my heart. I have a daily reminder of how special Jacque was to me.
