Miller Family: We are so sorry for your loss. Our daughter, Andi, rode Jackie's bus for many years @NTSD. I was a fellow bus driver @NTSD. We have great memories during those years. God Bless.

For the family of Jacqui, please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of this lovely, caring lady. I worked at the Service Center with her up until she retired (although in a different department) and frequently had conversations with her. She served for many years as the district Safety Committee Representative for the Transportation Department. After her retirement, I was fortunate to see her out and about every once in a while. On one of those occasions, Jacqui shared the news that she was not well and had just gotten out of the hospital. I'm shocked and saddened to hear of her passing and am so sorry for your loss.

I was her neighbor from 1994 to August 2010. She was the best neighbor I could ask for. She was extremely kind. We talked a lot at the fence about everything that was going on around us. Her dogs were her life!! I remembered them from the first day they came home. I was sad to have had to move, but I will never forget Jacqui...she was one of a kind..very passionate about her school kids and the adults with disabilities she took care of. So, so sorry for your loss.

Sure sorry to hear about your loss. I first met Mrs. Miller when I was a friend of Bill (and John too) back in the early 70's. She was always very nice and was very kind to remember who I was when I would bump into her at the store even 30 years later. I planned to call her recently to see if I could touch base with Bill - I wish I had. I always respected her. My best wishes to her family during this tough time.
