Dear Kathy, Karen, Becky and Bobby,
I just want to express my deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved mother. We worked together for many years and I have wonderful memories of her. Her family was everything to her, as you well know. Every now and then, what’s left of the “old gang” gets together and we share memories of your mom. It’s all good and now bittersweet. You are all in my prayers.
I finally retired after 43 years! Love it!

As I think back to all my memories of Ms. Jackie it’s hard to find the right beginning. After all, how do I wrap the years I have known her into a few sentences?
The best way for me to explain how much she meant to me is that, I could never relate to the typical “terrible mother-in-law†jokes I’ve heard because Ms. Jackie was warm and welcoming. She was always kind and made sure I felt included like I was her own. I will always remember her smile, fantastic cooking and sense of humor.
She was a great mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and friend.
May she rest in peace in heaven.
