  3. Big Ron and family,
    My sincerest condolences to all who adored Jackie. To know her, was to love her. Our journey started some 32 years ago, of memories I’ll cherish forever. The honor to be part of her life was all mine. There are no words to explain her depth and loyalty to her family and friends. Jackie was one in a million. Beautiful, strong and unselfish. My heart will always carry her and the life lessons and skills she taught me. Thank you for sharing her with me for long… I love you Jackie…

  4. Can not put into words how much Jackie has meant to me these last 40 plus years, she was a cousin thru marriage but was the closest thing I had to a sister in law, she took me under her wings and taught me all about The Benevento family, her endless stories, family traditions which she gladly shared, things I would have never known which are a big part of my life now. I can never thank her enough for her undying generosity, and her warmth she showed to everyone, the life Lessons she taught me just by watching and admiring her. She was so funny even on her bad days she still had you laughing. I will forever miss our hours of conversation, just being able to pick up the phone and say hey Jack.. my world will never be the same. Your an angel now no more pain or suffering and I know your reunited with all the family you missed so much I’ll watch for the signs I know you will send me, love you forever Jack…

  5. Jackie growing up you were like a big sister you would tell me the stories of you feeding me the cold cuts to keep me occupied when you were babysitting me. Most of all I can remember you taking me for rides in the corvette,when I used to go to your moms house with my parents. Along with spending countless weekends at your house. Those were the best times. We might not of seen each other a lot as life went on with our families but you were always there. Noreen stayed in touch with you and all that you passed on to her about family traditions I‘m so ever grateful. I could go six months or a year without talking to you but it would be like it was yesterday when we did. I could go on and on. You were the best. Rest in Peace Cuz.

  6. I am so saddened by the loss of my cousin Jackie. I cherish the memories of us as children together with our grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins and always, always laughing. Rest in Peace by beautiful cousin.
