I met Jacky and the Steiner family a long time ago through my lovely wife. I just read that she has passed away . I am deeply saddened but I can assure you that the lovely memory of Jacky will remain, a kind hearted, strong and greatly artistic human, with a great sense of humor. Remembering her distinct voice expressed in laughter when Norman, Jane, Amy or Jackson told something funny. I will always remember.

I'm so honoured to have known Jaki, and the wonderful family she made. My favourite memories are of sitting next to Jaki at recent Thanksgivings at Diana's and enjoying her company and truthful view of the world.
love,
Arnold
