My condolences to your family. Jackie was my neighbor on Fairview Street for well over 25 years. She spoke of you often Allen, and was VERY proud of you. I was always impressed by how active she was and independent and even though she missed your father, she soldiered on. Ironically she was very strong and very gentle. She was very kind to me and my daughter and I am thankful for that and thankful I knew her. May she rest in peace.
