It was my honor to work with Jackie for many years. She was a wonderful friend and provided the skills and support that I needed to survive in a difficult environment.
While I hadnt seen or talked with her for 7 years, I thought of her often and always with affection and respect.
She was one of the lights in the Department of Corrections and I learned a great deal from her.
