I knew Jackie through a friend and I was always in awe of her vitality and enthusiasm. Im just learning of her death now and I cant imagine that this has happened to such a spirited, lively woman. Jackie - youre wonderful and Ill always remember you.

Jackie was my mentor while studying at Michigan. I was a first year architecture student and she was a grad student - the Chair introduced me to her. My confidence and knowing what I could accomplish at the school was boosted immediately. Over the past couple of years as a 30+ year old woman I would still reach out to her when dealing with difficult times in the office and she would take time to call me and listen and of course give me the best advice. We've been talking about what we can do to give back to help other black women in architecture succeed, but first she wanted me to get my license. So that's what I'm doing, Jackie. I have two more exams to pass and then I will continue being an examplary architect and mentor - as you were the best of those two things to me. May you Rest In Peace. Many condolences to your family.

So sorry for the loss of this beautiful lady. we worked together on the Maryland national harbor project for a few years, we sat together in the same trailer, where we worked on the project, then at the DC office at Gensler. She was so young and full of life. she was so dedicated to her job, and it was a pleasure to work with her.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. It was a joy to work in the presence of Jackie for 12 + years. I will never forget the warmth her smile brought to the office each and every day. She was a hard working and dedicated Architect. With my heartfelt condolences. Jeannette
