Jacquie Harrell - the best of the best. We were blessed to have her in our lives. She was the first grade teacher for our oldest and youngest sons. She lifted them up and celebrated each of them as individuals. Insightful, giving and fun. Her smile, laugh and dedication were contagious. She sparkled and lead with her love of learning. Our sharing continued after first grades including school committees, birthday cards for our sons and her family Christmas cards. We are saddened to hear the news and know in our hearts the angels welcome her with joyful hugs. Her Glen Ellyn community send thoughts and prayers to her family and friends. She made a huge difference for our sons and family. She will shine on in all who knew her. Bless you always Jacquie Harrell.

Jacquie and I have been friends since we were 3-4 years old in the Detroit area. I am so saddened to hear of our loss. She was a lovely person and even though we haven't seen each other in years, we still felt close through the internet and phone. My deepest sympathy. Judy Miller Keefe (Wellesley Hills, MA)
