So heartbreaking to hear about Jackie's passing. I worked with her at the Post Office, and she was so kind and very very sweet, and quite lovely. I was fortunate to run into her at a few local events in Sandusky, and feel sad that I won't in the near future. My sympathy to her family, especially her lovely daughters and their families.
