My heart is broken on the passing of my dear friend Jackie. We met over 40 years ago and she was a major influence in my life. She helped me navigate my way in the corporate workplace and provided financial guidance in the real estate market. I saw her get married, become a mother, ordained as a minister and then go on to start her own church. She was a beautiful person...inside and outside. Rest well my friend; I love you and will miss you.

Sending my condolences and prayers to David, Devon and the entire family.
