"Taking care of Jackie was a pleasure. I remember going to give her some water shortly before her passing and she said ahhh like it was the best thing all day. But when she was done she let me know and said thats enough real loud. She was always happy. Walking in her room and talk to her she would just laugh like you were the funniest thing ever. Youll be missed"

"Sympathy and prayers for the family. My wife and I been thinking about her this spring as we traveled a road near her house. I had painted for her many times, both at the house and at the farm. She was always very kind and we had interesting discussions about many subjects. She loved her family, She was a great lady."
"Cheryl and TerryTonie and I express our heartfelt condolences of the loss of your mother, but rejoice in her departure to heaven to be with Jesus. I remember her when I attended the Matthews Methodist Church when I was young growing up. I pray that the Lord will give you and your families peace during this time and thanksgiving to God for having been given such a great mother."
