Peggy, I wanted to let you know that all of you are in my prayers. Judging from the outpouring of love and support I witnessed, Jackie was an outstanding man. I pray that God keeps you in the palm of His loving, almighty hands.

Evelyn and Family, I was heartbroken to hear of Jackie's passing. Jackie was always a true friend and I will deeply miss him. My apologies for not being able to attend his visitation and funeral. My wife and I were on vacation and did not find out in time to return for either. My most heartfelt and deepest sympathy go to you and your family. I know that Jackie will have an outstanding view from above to all the Dallas football games, Reds baseball games and Nascar races.
May God bless you and your family.

I am so saddened to hear of Jackie's passing. He was a gentleman in every way and a friend to all that knew him. His quiet demeanor reflected strength and compassion for his family, friends, fellow firefighters and all of those he helped during his distinguished career. He will be missed by so many lives that he touched but his legacy will continue through the lives that he made better and saved!

To The Family of Jackie, What a honor to serve the family. The outpouring of love and care for Jackie was so heart felt. Words can not express my feelings to Jill who was so loving to her father. I know you will miss him for a long time to come. This helped me to get some peace with grief. "Grief doesn't end;it just changes. Death isn't about dissolving a relationship but helping it evolve from physical to spiritual." May God go with you and watch over you each day. Making your hurt ease. God will bless you in your life to move fowaard. Keep Sparrow in your love and she will know about her grandfather. Bless you now and always. Vicki Troxler, staff at Loflins and friend of Billy

What can you say to a family who has suffered so much over the past year? We love you and are praying for you. Maybe time will help heal the pain and the memories will bring smiles. We know Jackie was a strong part of your family. Just think when you look up at the stars at night Jackie is smiling down at you telling you how much he's enjoying Heaven with his Daddy. My heart goes out to you, I have always loved your family like it was my own and my heart is breaking for you. I am praying for you to find some kind of peace to help you through this deep valley of sadness. Our love and prayers are with you. Gail and Dale Giddens
