I've known Jacki all of my life. Gati and Jacki were like another Aunt & Uncle to my sister Elisabeth and I growing up. My 1st time goose hunting was with my father David, and Gati & Jacki at Horican Marsh. I wasn't old enough to hunt, but went with. I remember fun times at their house for Easter Egg Hunts, JC's picnics and road rallies. Many, many great hunts together and so many shared laughs. Jacki was loved by all and will be deeply missed. God Bless.

She will be dearly missed and was such a special friend. She was like an "adoptive" aunt to me and my brother. Our hearts go out to Gati and her family. All our love.

Jacquelyn was a very kind and loving lady who truly gave from the heart! I will always remember that the last time I saw her was Jan 9th, my mother's funeral. Gati we loved you both and I know you will be lost without her, but we can find comfort in knowing she is with our Lord and hurting any more. She has a new body and is rejoicing in the Lord' company. Someday we will all be together again but for now God has more for us to finish here. Maybe there is someone lost and hurting you must save before your time. Thank you both for being a part our lives, a great friend to Dave and his family, and for the kindness you gave our mother, Eunice LaVeau. May your memories of Jackie be a comfort to you during the empty days ahead! Call if we can help in anyway.
Kindest Regards,
Connie C Arndt & family
