Dear Rit,

I just learned of Jackie's passing today. Linda Collinge called me to let me know. Please accept my deepest condolences. Jackie and I worked together at Amelior and became friends as well as co-workers. I loved her dearly. She was such a warm and generous person and I will miss her.

I know how devoted she was to you and how much you will miss her. Thankfully you have wonderful children and grandchildren to help you through this difficult time. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Fondly,

Dear Michele, Jill, Glenn, Nicole, Jackie and Robin,

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Jackie and I worked together at Amelior and became friends as well as co-workers. Linda Collinge called me today to let me know of Jackie's passing. I wish I had known sooner so that I could have joined all of you at her memorial service. I would have loved to have been there to celebrate with her family and friends in honoring her life. She was one of the warmest, most generous people I have ever known. She and I would go to the Hickory Tree Chorus show every year and I always looked forward to spending time with her. My last memory of her was going to see Joan Rivers' one-woman show at the Community Theatre in Morristown last October. I was so honored that she invited me to share those evenings with her.

Jackie and I shared many children and grandchildren stories over the years. She was so proud of all of you. You were very lucky to have had such a loving mother and grandmother. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that you will always carry her in your hearts. You have a very special angel watching over you.

I will miss my dear friend.

With love,

Dear Rit and Family,

My sincere condolences on Jackie's passing. Jackie was a most gracious woman, I was honored to be her friend. I was proud to work side by side with her in the catering field. We shared many laughs, some tears and lots of fond memories. Jackie once said to me, "stick with me kid" and that I did for many years. I love you Jackie you will live on in my heart. Always

Dear Rit and family,
Jackie was such a gracious woman with a heart of gold. I was honored to have her as my friend and co-worker. Jackie and I shared much laughter as we worked side by side in the catering field. Her sense of humor, sweet disposition and consideration for others were just a few of her loving qualities. To quote Ms. Jackie, "Stick with me kid" we'll go places!! And that we did, for many, many years!! I Love you Ms. Jackie, always and forever in my heart.

Glenn, Cathi & Robin

I will always remember your Mom as a gracious, loving, and gentle woman. Her ability to put together wonderful meals and make them "events" and include anyone and make them feel right at home was something she did with such ease. She will be missed. We love you and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

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.
