My condolences to Jackie's family. I remember with such fondness teaching Zakee, Jacquelyn and Malcolm at Buck Lake. Jackie loved each of her children and did her best to provide a good home for them.

Ms. Jackie, I keep wanting to e-mail you or call you and get an uplifting word to heal my sorrow, but then I remember that my sorrow is because you are gone. I will miss our talks and your positive spirit. You were an angel here on earth, and I know you are in heaven where you belong. My prayers go out to your family.

***Angels In The Stars***

God saw I was getting tired
as he put his arms around me
as he whispered come with me

There is a place for you in heaven
where there is no suffering and no pain
all you have to do is look up to the sky and know that you will see me

As I am an angel in the stars
what a great place to be
I am an angel of God and a
sparkle I shall be

Know that I'm watching over you
just look up and see
I'm looking watching over you
please don't be sad for me

I'm your angel in the stars
where I am happy now
you will see and one day
you will be with me.

Jacquelyn, my oldest, dearest sister. How did we get here? I must be honest i don't like it here. You have always been here for me, my second mom. Where do i go from here? Well i know you would say I can do it and I can. I will make you proud of me. I only wish Isayah could have had more years with you. There is no one like you and you will be deeply missed. Your heart was like none other. I love you and so glad I had so much time with you. Now we will be together in different way. I will miss story time, you always told the best stories. You can be with Joyce now and that makes me smile. I will tell Isayah about you. Love you big sis :) You fought the good fight of faith. Now you can BE the angel that you are. See you around.....
