I only know of Jackie through the loving eyes of her niece, Chris, and her grand nieces, Amanda and Dana. They speak of her so lovingly and with great respect. I know they will miss her dearly. May God bring comfort to all the broken hearts who linger here, missing Jackie (and Frank).
My sincere sympathy to Jackie’s family at this difficult time. I became acquainted with Jackie when I worked at Walmart Pharmacy – a lovely lady. Whenever she would be in Target she would always stop by the pharmacy when I was working and say hello. She will be greatly missed.
