A note from the family:

Jackie truly lived everyday like it was her last. She was an example of faith, love, and service to so many. Though her family grieves we do not grieve as the world grieves, we have the hope and promise of the gospel of Jesus Christ, that Christ died for her, was raised on the third day defeating sin and death and we will be reunited with her one day in glory, and we hope you will too.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
