I am so sorry to hear of Jackie's passing - she was a dear friend as well as my adoptive family member. My prayers, thoughts and love are with you all during this time. Wish I could be with you. May God give you comfort and peace.
I am so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to Jackie's family and friends. May God wrap his loving arms around you during the difficult days ahead.
My thoughts and prayers are the family of Jackie. She, George, and Bea were the best neighbors my parents ever had. I know they are all celebrating in heaven now again. May God be with all of you through this difficult time.
To Jackie's family - I was totally shocked to learn of Jackie's death. I am Vera and J.T. Roberson's daughter. Jackie and I went to school together at Nettleton. She was always a great person, although our paths never crossed much. I thought about her often. I am sure she is in a much better place. May God wrap his loving arms around this family and give you comfort.
Im very sorry for the loss of your Mother.. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
