We danced and cruised with Jackie and Leo for many years and loved every minute of being with them. We visited with Jackie at the Kingsway Kickers 30th Anniversary Dance and had a great time.

I remember your mom from country western dancing -- Kingsway Kickers. Heartland, Country Club and others. My husband Lenny and I often sat with her at dinner dances. She was a fine lady, always friendly and kind. I'm glad we met.
