I’m happy she is back together with Bob. Much love and prayers, Mary Nylander
My sympathy to all the family on the loss of someone who meant so much to each of you. I didn’t know Jackie, but just watched the beautiful video…loved the old black & white photos interspersed with photos throughout all the years…makes one realize how fast it all goes. My thoughts and prayers are there with you.
We are saddened to hear of Jackies passing. It was always a joy to stop by for coffee and yummy cookies when we visited
Gettysburg. Thankfully we stopped in Watertown in June and had a fun visit with her. Our kids Ann and Matt were with us and enjoyed meeting her. Jackie was jewel, one of a kind and will be missed by all who were fortunate to know her. Gods peace and blessing to all the family.
