  1. Hello I heard thru Facebook Jacki has passed I don’t know if it is same Jacki I chatted with a while back we was supposed to meet couple years ago, I was supposed to go to Frazee but couldn’t get a car since I flew to minnesota from nc for family get-together. I knew Jacki from elementary and high school. Just want to send prayers to her family and I cherished little time we talked even briefly.

  2. I miss you, but I know that when you got to heaven your mom gave you a giant hug. You felt warm and safe, and I’m so thankful for that. Just wishing I could get a hug from you. I love you Mom. I know you were sitting right there with us while we were flipping through your memories and making those boards. I love you, I miss you and I’m looking forward to a hug from you, and to hear you call me your brat again. All this has been hard, but I know you’re helping guide us through it. I love you.
