I know Jackie through my sister, Mary Joplin, her husband and Jackie’s son, Howard. Jackie was always smiling and calm spirited in the midst of any situation. She was extremely generous in deed and love. Jackie opened her home to whoever was in need and she helped her family in all ways. Her warmth and love blessed me because she demonstrated God’s love with my sister and her granddaughters, Teresa and Chtistal in all ways. Thank you, Jackie, for all the love. You will be so missed!
Jim,Phil and family,
Sonny and I are sending our love and prayers to all of you. I have known your Mom since I was 8 years old and she was always such a kind and loving woman to all. We all were blessed to have her in our lives all these years. May God’s arms be wrapped around you with his love and comfort during this difficult time. All Our Love and Prayers, Toiya and Sonny
