It just doesn't seem real. She was someone you really thought was going to be here forever. She was the most energetic person I knew. Her laugh was contagious. The family reunion won't be the same without her....and her pies. We love you and will miss you terribly.

That picture of Jackie is awesome!! That smile of hers is what I will always remember. I've known Jackie since I was a little girl and she always kept an extra eye on all of us kids. She was a very special lady and someone I will always cherish in my heart!! My condolences go out to her family and I hope that the memories they have of Jackie will keep her spirit alive and provide comfort.
