Jackie was one of 23 cousins of whom I am one.
We highly respected and loved this talented woman. We just never got together as much as we would have liked.

Sympathy and blessings to her children at this time.

Dear Chris & Family,

I was shocked & saddened to learn about your Mom's passing. While I never met her personally, I felt as if I knew her from the stories that Chris has shared with me through the years.

Peace to all of you.
