I have such wonderful memories from my childhood of the Rice and Kain clans getting together on our respective farms. There was never a dull moment with so many kids. Jackie always had a ready smile and a hug to give. She will be missed by many.

A memorable moment about Jackie is when I visited the Rice home and my companion began to tiptoe as we approached a doorway. He gave me the shush sign with his index finger straddling his closed lips. Then, he walked toward the door, grasped the handle and closed it. He quietly turned to whisper, "MY mother (Jackie) is praying." Although it was a common site for him, it was a rarity for me to witness. The more I frequented the Rice household, the more I realized prayer was a staple for this mother of eight. I became impressed with her priorities of family, friends, and the Father. All of her mentoring has had a profound effect on my life. I will always love her and very much treasure her warm embraces, infectious smile, and joyous laughter. Please accept my heartfelt condolences over her passing. I am truly sorry for her loss. God be with you as you cope with her absence. Love you all.

So sorry to hear about Jackie as she was a very special lady. Whenever I would see her at church or at the grocery, she was always so kind and caring and always asked how I was doing. I had not seen her in recent years but one of the most vivid memories was watching her deep devotion to God as she prayed in church. May she rest in peace and my sympathies to her family.
