"I love, love, love you"! These were the last words Jacquie said to me just two nights before passing.

Even while her body was giving out, she always knew how to express herself! While I was surprised and delighted to hear her put the sentence together. I already knew she loved me. It wasn't her words but her actions over the years of knowing her.

Jacquie lived life in a way that should be envied. She loved, she laughed, she learned and she taught.

I enjoyed hearing her stories of her extraordinary life and passions. She loved her music which fell second only to her family. Jacquie loved her children and grandchildren. She had such a classy way of bragging about her family's achievements.

I can never thank my friend Renee enough for bringing Jacquie into my life.

One of my favorite memories of Jacquie is around our first meeting. She flew out for Renee's surprise baby shower, when Renee was pregnant with Kiley. Prior to coming out, Jacquie sent out a large, hand-made wooden toy box as a wonderful gift.

You can imagine my surprise when Jacquie insisted on hiding IN the box and popping out to yell surprise when Renee arrived. The problem was.., we were not sure what time Renee would arrive! She stuck it out, made me laugh and earned the nickname "Jacquie in the box".

I will also never forget the constant scavanger hunt for "Jacquie's missing coffee"

This winter will be a little colder without Jacquie and I'll hold my special Patriots blanket a little tighter.

I have always been, and always will be, amazed by Jacquie's passion for the piano; she retained the same fervor for the instrument her entire life, even when her fingers wouldn't quite cooperate. She acted as a great secondary-teacher to me throughout my adolescence, and helped to ignite my playing with feeling. I can only hope to retain my passion for the piano, in part instilled by Jacquie, as long as she did. She showed me that we can remain excited and enthusiastic about what we love even in old age---music, family, and life. For that, I am beyond grateful. She will be sorely missed.

I remember Jacquie as a vibrant lady who truely loved life. No matter what she seemed to look on the bright side of things and be thankful.Whether climbing multiple stairs to watch Stephan perform in the youth musical Joseph... this past May or basking in the glow of newborn grandaughter Delaney cradled in her lap last year, Jacquie cherished every moment.She brought a gusto to life that I know she would want to live on in all who knew,loved and were loved by her. We will miss her cheering us on but know she still does from up above! Love & prayers... Judy,Stephan,Forrest,Joya and Logan
