You were so many things to me besides the Best Mom Ever, confidant, companion and friend to name a few. As an adult, I continuously told you that I would spend my lifetime trying to return to you all the love and support you gave me. You never gave up on me, even through my wayward teen years. You always saw the best there was in me. Your encouragement, support and love is what helped me to turn my life around and I am forever grateful. It was an honor to be able to spend so much time with you, care for you and return some of the love and devotion you spent your life giving to me. It's been two months now and you are still my 1st thought in the morning and my last at night. And I find myself reaching for the phone to share good news, to find your shoulder to cry on or to share a laugh with you. (I always loved making you laugh!!) I Love and miss you so much.

If I chose a mother, I couldn't have made a better choice. I was lucky to have you Mother. When I had difficulties, you were a tower of strength to me. You always had the right answers; or at least pointed me in the right direction. I'll spend the rest of my life missing you.

Mom
..God blessed me when He made you my mother. My love for you will live with me to the end of my days. I hope that I have passed a little of what you taught me of being a Mom to my own daughters. I will be with you again in God's love.

Jackie was a beautiful person, inside and out. I am a Past Commodore of Lake Beresford Yacht Club and would like to receive any information concerning a Memorial Service to be held in her honor. I tried to send an email to the [email protected]. email in the obituary and was refused as not a good address. I have an address for Tom at Majestic Oaks in Orange City and want to confirm that it is a good address where cards of sympathy can be sent. Thank you.
