Jackie,
I don't think I've ever posted on here before in the beginning it was just too hard I missed you too much I didn't want to believe it. I know that you know I miss you everyday and I like to think that when I'm looking at the stars having a talk with you that your listening and yes people we have a lot of talks. I love you so much and I wish you were here everyday. You are always in my heart and on my mind and you will always be my little sister. Love your brother Jamie Monahan. You will never be forgotten.

A big hug to my sister Donna, my brother-in-law Bruce and the rest of the family, who is suffering for this terrible loss

July 24, 2010

To our girl, Jaclyn,
Our hearts are broken with losing you.
and I dont think they will ever heal. Just trying to come to grips with what has happened to bring such heartache to so many people who loved you. We have shed more tears than could ever be counted - mourning our loss and realizing that our lives will never, ever be the same again.
We will sift through all the wonderful memories of you visiting us each summer in Connecticut and calling me the week before you died saying its time to visit. We were so happy you were coming. It wasn't meant to be.
We all need time to just "be" when we can open ourselves to God and have the reassurance of his everlasting love for you. We will never stop talking about you Jax, nor will we ever forget you. Our memories stretch from your birth to your death and they will always be in our hearts.
We dearly loved you Jackie,
Rest in Peace, Jax, Rest in Peace
Gam and Poppy

July 24, 2010

To Our girl, Jaclyn,
It is so hard to believe that you are no longer in our lives. We realize that our lives will never be the same without you.
You were about ready to come"Home" to Connecticut for the summer as always. We were so looking forward to being with you. It is so hard to come to grips with what has happened and now we need to sift
through our beautiful memories of you.
You had such a big heart with your love of kids, animals and anyone who was hurt.
We loved you so much and while you are at
peace in heaven we have to realize that our lives will never be the same without you. We send our undying love to you and wishing you peace in the everlasting love of God. You are our angel with a name now. We will always talk to you and relive the memories of your life from birth to your last day on earth. You were a part of our being, Jackie and we will never, ever forget you. You know how much we loved you.
Rest in Peace our Jax...Rest in Peace

Dear Donna and Bruce,

Uncle Jim, Danny and I are so very sorry for your loss. Jacky was a beautiul girl and she meant the world to Lee and Peter. We went to a memorial service at their home and we were able to follow her life through pictures. I know how hard this is for you and life just isn't fair. Hopefully there really is a heaven and you will be with her someday. We will always pray for her and the both of you.

We love you,

As Jamie and I have been looking through your pictures our eyes fill with tears, not only sadness that your gone but with joyful memories of the wonderful times that we have spent together and known you.

As I was talking to Mom and Pop and viewing your pictures and hearing the stories behind the pictures, I have gotten to know you so much more. I am honored to share the same family as you, and to have you as a sister-in-law. Your nephews adore you, as so do I and your brother.

You will be missed but never ever forgotten.

Love always and forever your family,

Jaclyn, You are my
Blonde haired, blue-eyed angel
Your Daddy’s little girl
I quickly held you close to me
When you came into this world
With loving hands and a gentle heart
I loved you with all my heart
However, before I knew it
Daddy’s girl was gone
My love for you will never part
For you reside with Jesus now
And I’ll miss you everyday
So rest for now my darling girl
Your forever in my heart.
Love, Dad

I know that you are in the arms of the angels and they are watching over you as you watch over us. When the wind blows, when the rain falls, when the brightest star shines, when the butterfly flies I know that this is you telling me that your alright.
Rest sweet Jaclyn until we meet again.
Love forever, Ann

Little I knew that morning, God was going to call your name, in life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of me went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Little I knew that morning, God was going to call your name, in life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of me went with you, the day God called you home.
