Please allow me to extend my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Jackie. Where as God in His infinite wisdom has removed Jackie from our midst, He has not removed her from our hearts. One of God's own we celebrate her "Homecoming" where she has been given a new heavenly body that will enter the presence of the Lord and rejoice among the angels. I pray that you find peace and comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten.
