When we were kids we stayed at my grandmothers at Clear Lake and always went to Hawkeye Boat yard. We were much younger then Jackie but she always treated us good and got the minnows out for us. All us kids had a crush on her back then. Jackie and Bud ran us off a few times but they were really great people to us kids. She will be missed, I'm sure. Rest in peace Jackie.

I have very fond memories of Jackie, one being her trying to teach me the "pink pajamas" song...everyone knows, it's a classic...she will be missed. I will never play another game of pool without hearing her helpful and sometimes not helpful, hints...May you rest in peace...
