One year has passed since she left us. Jackie is gone from her earthly home , but she will never be forgotten . She was a bright light that showed us how to smile even in the darkest of times. She brought sunshine into the lives of others , even when the rain was falling in hers. She didn't complain because she knew God had her back. She once told me that butterflies reminded her of angels watching over us. She is now one of those angels.
Qynn, Jasmine and Cameron whenever you see a butterfly , think of your mom and grandmother as an angel watching over you.
Love you
Cousin Jesselyn

To my cousins, Qynn, Bebe, Emeria, LT. and Karl Michael and our entire family
Jackie left footprints on the hearts of all of us who knew and loved her. May we all keep her alive in our hearts through the fond memories we have of her.
I am so grateful to God and to Emeria and Bebe for allowing me to communicate WITH Jackie when she was talking and TO her when she wasn't. I even got a thumbs up from Jackie in those last days and I will always cherish that moment.
I miss her already but will never forget her.
Qynn, You, Yasmine and Cameron were the center of her World. She once told me that she never thought being a grandmother would be so rewarding. You all are in my thoughts,my heart and my prayers today and always.
May you find peace in The Promises of God that HE will NEVER leave you.
Love
Cousin Jesselyn and Husband Earl
