Two years have passed since Jackie’s death, and her influence continues in my life. She told me, after she had a near death experience, that the meaning of life is to be kind to one another. I have shared her insight widely and taken it as a mantra- the impact has been astounding. Thank you, Jackie, for supporting me through a very dark time and for sharing so freely of yourself

Jackie & I went to school together for the first three years at Justice Grade School until I moved to Barboursville. I remember the fun times we had playing at her house and the delicious treats her mother made. My sister, Nancy, and Jackie's sister, Frances, were good friends through high school. The last time I visited with the family was many years ago in Huntington at Mr. Fish's funeral.
Jackie was a beautiful and caring person and will be missed but I have many wonderful memories of early childhood days spent in Logan.
My condolences to Frances and to the family for your loss.

Jackie was like another mother for us, not just a therapist: caring and worldly; stern when we needed it; and always, always trying to find the path to a better life existence for us all. We offer our deepest sympathy to her family. But please know that your mom was an angel: she saved our family. Our little boys and we have prayed for her for many months. Jackie, work your magic in heaven!

All our love, the Derrough-Salas Family

I knew Jackie at Finch. We had some Contact in the intervening years, but I did not know that she was ill. My heart goes out to her family. Jackie was beautiful, brilliant and compassionate. The world has lost a dear soul, but I know we will meet again.

We had such great times at Logan Central Junior High and Logan High. We came from such different backgrounds but we all got along and were great friends. She brought exotic lunches to school and shared with all of us. I will never forget the great times at her home and meeting her parents. I am so sorry we lost touch but life has a way of taking us in different directions. I know her family will miss her so much but have wonderful memories to cherish!
