Condolence: That was such a beautiful slide show you, her family, created for Jackie--how appreciative and proud she would have been! I was glad to be able to refresh my memory of her lovely smile, and to meet you, last Sunday--but so sorry to have lost touch in our twenties after I moved away from Cambridge, and not to have realized, when I moved back decades later, that she was here. Like Dolores, I was a high school classmate, and I'll never forget her warmth and life force.

Condolence: We here at Whole Foods Market in Somerville were very sad to hear of Jackie's passing. She was a loyal customer of ours from day one and was beloved by all in our store. Her visits were very memorable and we will miss her daily visits and phone calls. She was one of a kind and very appreciative for all that we did for her. Condolences to all of her friends and family.

Condolence: Dear Tony and family,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Jackie's passing. I have not seen her since moving to Wisconsin many years ago.
I met Jackie in high school and we had an intense friendship. I can still recall vividly the time we went to see an opera as part of a school trip. It was a dress rehearsal at the Metropolitan Opera House and we were both unimpressed. But "Turandot" was playing that nigh with a stellar cast and Jackie immediately suggested getting tickets. We watched spellbound and we became ardent opera fans. We went on bicycle rides and spent hours discussing politics. Jackie had a deep concern for the social injustices around us.

As adults Jackie was a devoted mother in the face of many challenges as a single parent. I can still recall your graduation from high school, your admission to Boston College and how proud Jackie was of your accomplishments.

Jackie was a loyal friend and I will always treasure the memories we shared.
