I cannot believe this. I am so sadden and surprised. I've thought many times of Jackie over the years; wondering how life had been for the smiling wise cracking lil guy of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9-10 & 11(!) I would see riding his bike in front of our house! I imagined great things would come with his easy smile and confident way. First Stephen, now Jackie. Sad, so very sad. Kelly, can't imagine your pain. May God's love and promise of Eternity together comfort you as nothing else can. Carol

I grew up with Jackie. We had many classes together, played ball together, graduated together, spent a couple of summers in the hay field/ lake with Stephen together, and partied with Stephen together in the 80's. We never had an argument and he was most often the life of the party. I'm not liking this pit in the stomach feeling I'm having. Jackie was one of my better friends.
