Dear Richard and family- I am so sorry for your loss. Jacquie was the mother I never had, and she told Chris and I we were the daughters she never had. :) We had a lot of fun together over the years. She loved to laugh, and was young at heart. She got her wings and will watch over us all, no doubt. She will truly be missed! Love Debi
