Jackie was a dear friend. I just recently learned that she passed. She would be happy to be with Bill, but I know that she loved her children and her grandchildren more than life itself. I met Jackie working at West high school and we remain friends forever. She will be missed. My heart aches learning of her passing . She will be missed by so many including students that passed by her desk at West high school. She was so amazing and loving towards her students. May God grant her family peace, knowing how much she loved them. Goodbye my friend. I know we will meet again.

I am sending rather belated wishes of sympathy to Jackie's wonderful family after now hearing about her death. Despite my leaving the Manchester area in 1965 for Fredericksburg, Virginia, my late husband Bernie and I managed to keep in touch with Bill and Jackie over the many years and always cherished a chance to visit or meet out for dinner when we were home in Manchester. We often had visits from Bill here in Virginia which were wonderful surprises and so welcome. While on a road trip for Hermsdorf to various points here in the South, Bill would often take a break, park the huge truck in a secure spot, and walk to our home. "Mr. Sweezy is here!" was a familiar shout from one of our three children. For an hour or so, we would get caught up on the Sweezy family as Bill proudly related the latest news of his dear Jackie and the three little ones. It was a privilege to know them these many years! May Jackie and Bill rest in peace! Kathy Mahoney

Brett, Robyn and Vicky,
Your mom was very special to all of us in the Guidance Department at WHS! Through the years, she kept us all on track and was a fabulous support to us all. She was a role model always keeping active and had a great way with people.
She will be missed by many!
