I met Jackie as she called herself in 6th grade homeroom at Kenwood, it was my only year there, Jackie friended me almost right away and made me feel part of the class, we had many classes together from then until Senior year, she was one of the most wonderful people I have ever known, she will be truly missed by all, lost in her prime.

Jackie was my neighbor growing up. A group of neighborhood kids spent many summer days playing war, Cowboys and Indians and driving her brother Craig's go kart around their back yard track. She was more adventurous than I was, and brought me out of my shell. Even when we got in trouble, we stuck together on our story!! I'll never forget the day her sister Jeanne died in a car accident at the age of 18. Jackie was just sitting on the front porch, crying and we shed a lot of tears. I hadn't seen her since graduation, but wish we could have had just a few more minutes to reminisce about those days. Rest easy my friend.
