Granny was gentle and strong, caring and sweet, and everything I aspire to be. I was lucky for the 35 years that I got to know her, and am very proud to say that she was my Grandma, and so much more. Thankyou so much everyone for your words. I know she watches over us all, and I am glad to know that her and Donna are up there together and being the angels they truly are. Thankyou everyone

Jackie whenever I was near you it reminded me so much of Nanny (Ginny). After losing her, it gave me great comfort to come visit you in the Nite Club, laughing about old times. The two of you are together again, I know she was waiting to greet you, you were her best friend. It makes me smile to think of all the time you are going to have catching up. Until we meet again in Heaven, you will be sadly missed.

I just wanted to let you know that your mother was a remarkable woman. She was like a mom to me and a grandmother to my son. She gave me courage and strength during my illness and showed me the love that I needed. Both my heart and my son's heart feel the loss of her love. May the dear lord help you through this great loss and be rest assured that she is now with Donna and she is a guardian angel looking down upon all of us.

Jackie you were a pillar in our community. A friend to all. You were kind and generous to a fault. (good fault). I never seen you refuse anybody a helping hand. You were a grandmother beyond belief. Working with you at Blantons was alway fun. May you rest in peace and have a joyous reunion with Donna.
To Rusty. I know your mother and if she could she would say. . .

As I sit here in God's palace
I see you grieving so
I'm really very happy and i wanted you to know
The sun is always shinning
There's flowers Everywhere
Never any worries never any cares
I am free from any suffering
I don't have any pain
Because you trust in Jesus
I'll see you once again
So dry your eyes be happy and gay
For I am one of God's flowers
In HIS great bouquet.

Everyone who knew this Lady, knew what an impact she made in your life. Jackie was a friend and Mother to us all and i always thought of her as "The Angel of Walbridge" Most people could only wish for half the integrity she had and we have all learned from her.
Jackie--You watched me grow up and sometimes made me grow up and i will forever think of you as Mom. You were the best Mother in the world to Donna and Rusty and i was lucky enough to squeeze in there somehow, somewhere. I know you are with Donna and your friends, Wanda,Ginny and Smitty laughing and catching up on the gossip. I will always think of you and miss you my Dearest Friend and Mom Jackie
