From the first day we met; I knew Jackie was going to be a special friend. She was selfless in all she did. She could encourage others with sincerity and humor. I will forever remember her laugh, her stories, her love. "See ya later" my friend.

I also worked with Jackie at the Nature Center. She had such a gift for words. She was a true poet. Her kindness I am sure touched many. She will be missed but remembered often. Nancy Newcomb
