To Perianne, Ferdinand, Myrtis, Yolanda, Precious, and Danielle, and all my later acquired family from the union of my Mom, Mercedes' father's union to Jackie's Mom, Mrs. Laurida,

Heartfelt sympathy to all the love ones of "Jackie" on our loss. We have been family for a long, long, time and from what I remember, Jackie was beautiful inside and out. Have not seen her in many years, but the picture shows how she glowed in life. On behalf of Mercy's family, who we know loved her some Jackie and Yolanda, we can only say may we all find peace and comfort. May we all cherish the memories. Of course Perriann, may you obtain and maintain strength from the Lord. God bless and keep us all.
