Jacki, I never thought this day would come. I can’t imagine life without you. You have been a great inspiration. I will always miss you. Love forever, your baby sis.
Jacki, though I can no longer embrace you physically, I will forever embrace your memory. We’ve shared so many “sister moments”. I’m saddened, but I will rejoice in your victory. God keeps his promises. Love you, and miss you.

Karlynn and Brittany and all other family members and friends my heart and prayers are with you all. May God be with you in your time of sorrow and need.
It is a true pleasure to have shared an everlasting friendship with Jackie and her family. We shared fun memories of our neighborhood while serving together in the military. We all developed a very special love for a very special person and she will be deeply missed. May the resurrection hope to a perfect paradise earth (Psalms 37:29), where death will be no more (Revelation 21:4) bring everlasting joy to the family and love ones.
My sincerest and deepest sympathy to you Daphne and the rest of your family. I met Jackie through a mutual friend and her spirit was so welcoming that you couldn’t help but love her. She will truly be missed, especially her beautiful smile. My Love To You All!!!!

If I could write a letter to Jackie, these are some of the things that I would write. I would tell her how much I have missed her for these six months that she has been gone. But I would let her know that I still feel her presence. I would write, Jackie tell the family members there hello for me. Love you more and more and more. Uncle Joe
