She was a beautiful presence, who added joy, humor & comfort to all who knew her. If you didn't like her... you were jealous! There will never be another like her. She was my mother, best friend and a good wife for almost
56 years. We loved you, Jackie and you will be sorely missed. Love, Grace, Bart II, Christopher, Mary Jean & our Dad, Bart.
