"Steve and Jeff I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. Always loved Jackie just like she was my cousin just like Dean . She was such a sweet and caring person to all those that knew her. I still have some of Dean's funny emails and read them when I need a laugh. When you spoke of Dean and Jackie they were always such a close and loving couple. Just remember all the good memories you shared with this amazing couple. I will not be able to attend the funeral but you and your families are in my prayers. Love to All , Shirley Brasill"
