Jackie always had a smile on her face and love in her heart. Memories of Packard Heights, family get togethers in Gardner and at the Maroni´s cafe fill my heart. And Tommy - you are always there for family- both of you always are there for family. Jackie will always be in my heart. You are all in my thoughts with love.

I knew Jacqueline from my high school days in Gardner, MA. My recollection, she was a very kind and personable young woman. I am not surprised to read that she was respected and loved by all that knew her. My heart reaches out to her wonderful husband Tommy and family. RIP Dick Goguen
