So very sorry to hear Beautiful Jackie has passed. What a beautiful lady she was. I met Jackie through my mom Colleen Lirones. We would go meet Jackie and all those lovely ladies for lunch once a month. Jackie was such a warm loving person. I loved going to visit her at her home and enjoyed seeing all her treasures from shopping. But the stories she always had about her shopping with her girls was the best part. She enjoyed all her kids so much, and her Boys she always said such nice things about them. Along with all the grandkids too . I’m sure you all will miss her soft kindness she so gracefully shared. I enjoyed the sound of her laughter and that twinkle in her eye. Jackie was so loving and kind. I hope her and all her friends are having a ball in heaven. Fly high Jackie We all loved you so very much .
Love Liz
