I've known Aunt Jackie since I was seven years old. She was my mother's closest friend and confidant. I remember waking up on Saturdays, rushing to get dressed while half asleep so that I could join Aunt Jackie and my mom for their traditional Saturday morning coffee at Burger King. Listening how these ladies talked with eachother and learning new things from them was and will always be a memory that I cherish. One of the people that I missed so very much when I moved to Germany was Aunt Jackie. I know she knew how much I loved her and that I always felt loved. The Lord blessed her with a wonderful family--a wonderful family who deserved her. I am very sad and torn up inside to know that Aunt Jackie isn't coming back. But then I just think with my head held high that one day I will go to her.

My heart is full of sorrow for this great loss. Jackie has been my closest friend since 1988. All the trials of life, as well as joys were shared. She was a true friend, full of love and encouragement.

She was a gift from the Lord, and now He has her in His loving arms.

We will meet again someday Jackie.

I love you.

Your Friend,

Kathy

We had many special times with Jackie when we were kids. These have and will always be wonderful memories. She will stay in my heart.

Jackie was a true friend and a second mother to me and my sister and a close friend to our mom. We must have spent as much time at her house during our teen years as we did at home and we will never forget all those good times filled with love and great music and fun.

If anyone has a special place in heaven, it is Jackie. We will always love and miss her.

Ricky
