Jackie was a very important part of my life at Hubbard Lake. She was Queen Mother of our Red Hat Group where we had lots of fun and did lots of crafts. Also was in our Pinochle Club. Many happy memories with Jackie. I love her and will miss her.
Dear Mom,
Since the day you went home to heaven, I've wanted to hear your sweet loving voice say, "I love you" just one more time. Then I think to myself, one more time wouldn't be enough. Is that being selfish? Yes, it probably is, because I know you struggled through the last couple of years and you fought so valiantly, and now you are finally free from any pain you experienced. I am so grateful for all the time we had together and only wish for more. My greatest comfort comes from the realization that one day we will be together again. It's the years between then and now that will be the most difficult, but I promise you mom, I will be as strong as you because that is what you taught me to be. I only hope I am half the woman you are. You were so strong, yet kind and gentle; you loved so deeply and gave so generously; you had a heart of gold; you were talented and creative.... What more can I say?
I love you so much, mom. You are finally an Angel and deservedly so. Please watch over us, and try not to worry too much about dad. We will take good care of him for you. I will miss you with all my heart....
I love you ~ forever your Noopy
Dearest Jackie. You were always there for everyone. You were like a mother to me growing up, and not having a mom, it meant so much to me. You were beautiful inside and out and had a heart of gold. You will be loved and missed by so many family and friends. RIP sweet lady. Until we meet again. Love you Tina
