Jacqueline Teigeler Obituary

Jacqueline Elizabeth Teigeler - SAVANNAH - Jacqueline Elizabeth Teigeler passed away Tuesday, November 6, 2007 at 10:15 am. Jacqueline was 7 years old. Jacqueline was born January 20, 2000 in Melbourne Beach, Florida. She has been a Savannah, Georgia resident since she was 6 months old. Jacque attended May Howard Elementary School where she was an honor student enrolled in the schools gifted program. She was a Byrd's Korean Marshal Arts student for 2 years, reaching purple belt status in the arts of Hapkido and Taekwondo. She also received her Honorary Jr. Blackbelt. Jacque also was a piano student, taught by Janet Burnett. Jacqueline loved to laugh; she loved to see everyone happy. She never failed in using her manners. Jacqueline read many books and enjoyed time with her parents reading with her. She had fun playing with her little dog Savannah. Savannah tucked her in each and every night, and stayed by her side, on her bed, until she left this earth. She was always in the kitchen cooking with her mom or dad, or watching Scooby-Doo. Jacqueline loved going to cookouts and interacting with other children and adults. There was something so different about Jacque that was unique and special. She was a loving soul and will be terribly missed by everyone who knew her. Jacqueline was named after her great aunt, Jacqueline Hendriks-Teigeler resident of Veldhoven in the Netherlands. Aunt Jacqueline's loving demeanor was passed on to her namesake. We have never known two more loving and gentle souls. She was survived by her mother and father, Julie O'Steen Teigeler, Charles Arend Teigeler of Savannah, GA; sister, Rebbecca Lynn O'Steen, and nephew, Kaden David Rogowski of Marion, IL; grandparents, Fran G. Merritt and Norman Aubrey Merritt, III of Wilmington, NC; opa, Johannes Jacob Teigeler of Lakewood, NY; aunts, uncles and cousins; Dawn and Robert Teigeler, cousins, Andrew and Laura Teigeler of Painesville, OH; Gloria Teigeler-Zuck of Savannah, GA; Brian Zuck and Pamela DeLoach-Zuck, cousins, Jesstine and Jacob Zuck of Brunswick GA; Taylor and Lindsey Miller and cousins, Tyler-Kody, Delaney, Cyprian and Brigit of Phoenix, AZ; Stephen Miller of Long Beach, CA; Tina Merritt Kearney and Timothy Kearney, cousins, Jeremy, Josh, Jeffery and Joseph Kearney of Leland, NC; Norman Aubrey Merritt, IV and Cara Glick Merritt, cousins, Caitlyn, and Jade Merritt of Hampstead, NC. Jacqueline's great oma's, opa's, aunts, uncles and cousins in Holland; Jacqueline Hendriks-Teigeler of Veldhoven, NE; Ivonne, Peter, Dave Joppen-Hendriks of Veldhoven, NE; Peter, Henjo, Jeffrey Hendriks of Eindhoven, NE; Theo, Lianne, Rachelle, Marc Hendriks of Veldhoven, NE; Willy, Wim, Teun, Floor van der Aalst of Eersel, NE; Bart and Mies Schoenmakers of Rotterdam, NE; Victor, Inekee van der Vaart, Leesa, Roos Schoenmakers of Rotterdam, NE; Robert Jan, Marjon, Anne Schoenmakers, of Rotterdam, NE. Jacqueline was preceded in death by her twin sister, Shelby Teigeler, grammie, Blanche Piper Teigeler of Lakewood, NY; great grandmother Lady Katheryn Miller, great grandfather, Gaston Miller also known as "The Sargent" in his professional boxing days, and grandfather, Robert C. Miller of Honolulu, HI. Jacqueline's twin sister Shelby was lost at birth. We are sure they are together now, finally being able to run, laugh and play together in a place that Jacqueline herself described as a meadow, with a pond, large animals and giant flowers. She described this place as nighttime with a full moon and bright twinkling stars. Jacqueline always called her sister Rebbecca and her sister Shelby "Sis-Star", instead of sister. Our beloved bassett hound, Abigail "Abbey Dog" who left us last year. Jacqueline, and little dog Savannah, missed her greatly. Memorial Service: 12:00 p.m. Saturday, November 10, 2007 at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church with Reverend Patrick O'Brien, officiating followed by a reception at 2:00 p.m. at 1840 Wilmington Island Rd. Remembrances: "The Jacqueline Teigeler Medical Trust Fund", 21 Clarendon Dr., Savannah, GA 31410. Its funds will be used from this date forward in efforts to educate the world about childhood cancer, giving people a place to go where they can get information on treatment options in a timely fashion in their fight for their child's life.

I miss Jacqueline everyday... Brittany talks about her all the time. I remember when I was in the dentist office with her and she was getting her tooth pulled and she did not want the dentist to pull it out so she started wiggling that tooth until she pulled it out herself. She was so funny!!! I also remember taken her bowling with Brittany and she kept picking on Micheal. Brittany and Jacqueline acted like sisters and Brittany still says that she is her best friend. My hearts go out to both Julie and Charlie. I wish we still could get together. Brittany asks to see you both. I hope to talk to you soon. Congrats on the grandbabies!!! :)

My heart goes out to you on this anniversary of dear sweet Jacqueline. I have fond memories of her frequently asking me to dance with her when I came for a visit. I feel certain she is now dancing with the angels!

Charlie and Julie,

The Teigeler family is always in the thoughts and prayers of the Karp family ... all of you ... especially so, at this time.

When presented with these thoughts and feelings, we always find comfort in Psalm 23:4: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.

With comfort and love,

Tim, Jennifer, Keegan, Ethan & Abigail

Dear Charlie and Julie,
You are both in our thoughts and prayers. We met you at breakfast on New Year's Eve in Lake Helen and later spent time with you at the New Year's Eve party that night (my birthday). You first mentioned a book your friend shared with you and later told us of your painful loss of Jacqueline. I wanted to mention a book I was currently reading (Insight by Sylvia Browne), but could not remember the title while we spoke. Several of Sylvia's books will help you through your grief and give you comfort. I hope your short travels and visit to Lake Helen were a much needed respite before heading home. It was a pleasure meeting you both, and we will continue to keep you in our prayers. I have no doubt that Jacqueline is indeed running happily through the meadows with her twin sister. She is in God's loving hands for now, until you go Home to be with your little girls. Feel free to get in touch on your next visit to the B & B in Lake Helen or any other time.
Love, Mike and Diane Wojcik

I don't know this little girl, nor do I know the family. Her obituary was in our local newspaper here in Ohio. I just felt I had to send my condolences. I can't imagine how the family is dealing with this. Please stay strong and hold on to all the beautiful memories.She is looking down to you all and knows how strong the love you have for her.

I never read obituaries, never. I was looking in the classified ads and came apon the beautiful picture of your daughter and the strength it took through your tears to write this tribute to her and so well you did. I know the pain your feel, today would have been my grandson Davis's 3rd birthday. We lost the fight with Rhapdiod cancer on October 27th, 13 days before is 1st birthday. The struggle that my daughter Jaclyn and her husband and my 6 year old grandson went through to save this child was tremendous and without family and friends that helped it would have been impossible. But without our faith in God we would still be in struggle. We know where he is and we are still mourning the loss of our baby to this day but we will live our lives with the hope to be returned to him and your Jacqueline when we are called into his arms, which is where I believe you baby girl is right now. Her story truely touched my heart and thank you for sharing it with us. The pain you feel is so real and I pray you find relief in the faith that you show you have and I will always remember the story you told of the children you now have in heaven with God and my baby Davis.They know not any more pain only love....

Just please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I just know your sweet Jacque is running in those meadows she spoke of with her sister and our Lord Jesus, laughing, loving, and full of life, just the way you remember her. We'll be thinking of you and your family often in the days to come.

To the Teigeler family,
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiul little girl. When I read her obituary (on line) I could hardly hold back my tears. I can't imagine how many tears you and your family have shed before and after Jacqueline died. I didn't know her but no one has to guess what she was like just by looking at her picture. She truly is a little angel now with God in Heaven. The tribute you wrote is so beautiful. I know it must have been difficult to write. I thank you for allowing us to share Jacqueline's life with you.
You are all in my prayers.

I was saddened to read of the passing of little Jacqueline. I am from Savannah and read the paper via internet.

Just know that those memories and your faith in God will sustain you and give you peace during this difficult time. You are all in my prayers.

I went to the website to better understand what happened to this beautiful child and all I could think was that every word must have been drowned in tears. I'll pray for your family. I know it doesn't help but Jacque is truly happy and healthy now and I believe she wants the same for you all. One day you will all be together with our Lord. God bless you and all your family and friends who gave so much to one another for this child. You have been truly blessed. I know she changed lives in the short time she had with us all.

Julie,Charley and Family:
I cannot find the words to express over the loss of Jac. Because of distance we did not know her very well. But we know she was your heart, pride and joy. My heart bleeds for you and my eyes cry for you and Charley. We in Wilmington have been praying for all three of you. Jac is with our Lord now, along with her twin. Maybe thats where God wanted her to be. Shes playing in the fields of flowers and dancing with the angles to the music. We are so sorry that you have to go through so much pain. Just remember you are not walking along. HE is with you.

Charley and Julie,
No words, no card, nor expression can express my deepest sympathy for you both at this time. I barely know you Julie but feel deeply effected by the sorrow of your loss. Having a child of similar age I stop for a moment ...to try to understand what you must feel. There can be no comparison. I pray for your hearts to heal. My heart bleeds for you. God must have a need for this tiny angel.

Erin Howard

November 9, 2007

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Teigeler,

My children also attend May Howard and it is from there that I learned of Jacqueline's illness. How saddened I was to learn of Jacque's passing. My consolation, and more importantly yours, is that she is now painfree and carefree running through that place she described to you. God has another precious angel in His arms and she and Shelby will be watching over you until you join them there one day. What a blessing it was to have that lovely little girl in your lives, ever so short it may have been. May God continue to comfort and strengthen you during this most difficult time. Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers in the days to follow. God bless you both.

With my deepest sympathies,
Erin Howard

Her internal light, her gifts of old
For we will never forgot the gold lining of her soul
And the precious sprinkles of her laughter as her silhouette
Dances through the shadows.

There are never the 'right' words to express at a time like this. To lose a child is every parents' worst fear. And yet, we know in our hearts that Jac is whole again along with her sister in the arms of her Lord.
Peace and Blessings to you+
