To the family: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I had no way of knowing that Jackie had passed away. When the agency informed me I couldn't assist her anymore, I had to go my way. I thought about her often and missed assisting her with her daily activities. I got to know Jackie very well and enjoyed helping her in any way that I could. Gosh, what a sense of humor she had. A little bossy now and then, but I would be bossy back, then we start to laugh at each other. She liked things done right, and liked things done her way. She was very particular about many things, esp. her food. The way it was prepared, although, I could never perform like her in the kitchen, I would continue to try. She did give me many compliments about cooking that she approved of. That made me quite proud coming from her. I am just finding out about your loss, and I hope all of you are doing okay! Most of you I do not know, but I do know you had a wonderful person in your life named Jackie. I will never forget her. Luke esp. you, she mentioned so much. Always wanted the best for you. Rachel you too! And Luke's little baby, she absolutely adored. Holly, she couldn't say enough wonderful things about you. My prayers are with all of you in the family, and to her many wonderful friends. Debbie VanWaters in Kansas City.

Jackie was the greatest, and many of the fond memories that Rachel, Luke and I share are related to her. She gave a whole new meaning to the words 'Great Aunt' - and I'm blessed to have shared so many years with her. She taught me to love unconditionally and asked me in her last few days to "Take Care of her Babies" - as she knows I will. In the last few years she spent many holidays with us and I could see the pride beaming from her as she realized she nurtured me into a great entertainer/hostess. I learned from the master! Thanks for all the inspiration and love Aunt Jackie - you'll be missed.

Jackie was my stepmother and profoundly influenced my life. I became an interior designer mainly because of her. She brought levity and class to all those who knew and loved her. My sister Peggy and I visited her some ten years ago and it was, as always, a delight to be in her company. Although I tried to keep in touch, I lost track of her. I regret I didn't get the chance to say good bye and tell her that I loved her.

To all that loved her, She loved and taught us so well...From MY father Lewis, her sisters, (Holly,Thank you for always sharing your home with Pattie and I ) to her nieces & nephews. Bart,(Rachel and Luke) Pete, Teala and John(Sorry I do not know your children's names)....Know that she loved you so VERY much. I hope she was surrounded in her final hours by you ALL who she ALWAYS loved as if you were her own. I was so grateful that my father was so loved by her and that she took the time to teach us and tolerate us when Dad(Lewis)would have us in their home. I hope you are all happy and well...With Love, Peggy

Jackie was a joy to visit. As a Hospice chaplain I always looked forward to Jackie's questions, and her desire to know the Lord more. I will miss her, and our times together. may the Lord bless and comfort all her family. Renee

I think of Jackie as a kindred spirit. I imagine she's in heaven stirring things up and getting into a little mischief. I'm glad to have known her and to be part of her family. When I think of Jackie, it brings a smile to my face. Love, Lois
