I met Jackie when we were in middle school we grew up in the same area. We became family we´ve shared each others ups and downs it´s crazy for her not to be here.

My heart felt condolences go out to Blyss and other family members. Jacqueline and I wore talk on the phone and share text from time to time. I remember her saying that she wanted sister locks like mine, and I introduced her to my loctician, and she loved her hair. I will miss Jacqueline.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
