Dear Mom I still can’t believe you’re gone. I can’t stop crying and my heart aches so much. I can’t imagine life without you. What I will remember the most about you is what a beautiful person you were and how you were always there for people no matter what it was, and how you loved me, my husband and my girls so much. I’ll remember how we would talk at least 3 times a day and couldn’t go to sleep without saying goodnight and I love you. I find myself going to the phone to call you and realize you’re no longer here to hear you say goodnight and I love you. I will still say goodnight and I love you every night before I go to sleep and remember your voice saying it back to me. So DEAR SWEET MOM rest in peace and I miss you and I love you more then anybody will ever know. Love Your Daughter Kim
Jackie (mom) I will forever hold you in my heart. You were a second mother to me when I was a teenager and I will never forget how funny you were! I miss driving in the car with you because you had a lead foot! I keep thinking about the time you had me wake Ricky up by using the smoke alarm, he was so mad at me, lol. I remember when you took me on vacation with you to the beach. I have so many memories of you, thank you for making me feel so loved and for everything you have done for me and my family. I love and miss you so very much! See you Heaven, RIP my second mom.
Jackie had a tender Mom’s heart for her own children, which she expressed to me on numerous occasions, and she showed tender kindness for my family as well. We loved to laugh with her, and are very sorry in her loss for all who were close to her. I look forward to seeing her, joyful and well, welcome me someday into heaven! Miss you, Jackie! Scott and Dawn Sanger and family
I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. My sympathies are with you
