I didn't know Jacqui very well, but she was always pleseant. She seems to have founbd a calling helping the elderly in her native U.K..
As Chris and Doug have both said, losing a member of our class only makes me want to hang on even more to the rest of my classmates. Rest in peace, Jacqui.

It is always so sad when people in the same environment for years say "I didn't really know her" . I didn't know her either, shame on me. She seemed like a really nice person. God bless the people that did know her and were helped by her and the family she left behind.

I knew Jackie pretty well in Jr. High as she and I had a bit of a romance. I think it was in 7th grade. Most of it was via the phone, which her family and my mom didn't care for. She and her sister Joanna lived in a house just a few doors away from where I lived as a young boy in Farmington, before my family move to Unionville, so we had many discussions about my old neighborhood. My heart goes out to her family, may they find comfort in knowing she touched my life in a positive way.
