One of my fondest memories of Jackie comes from the time I invited her to a costume party. It hadn’t been but a few weeks prior that she’d lost her husband, Buck, but she surprised everyone by showing up in a red clown costume and joined in the fun making new friends. That day I learned Jackie was an interesting combination of precious and gutsy.
She became one of my dearest friends and I affectionately called her my “second Mom” as she was always there defending and encouraging me with the fierceness of a bantam hen – whether I needed it or not!
I’m very sad Jackie has left us and I cannot express how much I’ll miss her. I send my deepest sympathies to Judy, Bill, Barbie, Tom, Shannon and Jack; she was very proud of all of you; and thank you for graciously sharing her with me.
