Please accept our condolences. What a pair of wonderful neighbors and she was such a sweet lady!
Our sincere sympathy to the family as this lovely lady and truly beautiful woman has gone home.
Jackie was such a gracious, refined, joyful woman. I loved visiting her and Pastor Melchior, knowing that the conversations would be uplifting and interesting. I appreciated Jackie’s very deep faith and her glowing example of having peace in the midst of trials. I will miss her very much.
Jackie was such a good friend of mine. I am going to miss talking with her so much! Jackie was also a dear friend and neighbor of my mom, Jackie Meier. I am going to miss you my dear friend 🩷 sending prayers and caring thoughts to the family.
Our sincere sympathy to the entire family. Jackie was such a dear friend to my mom. Such a loyal and caring friend since their kindergarten years. Jackie and Pastor Ed have been dear friends that have comforted and walked with us through life’s many trials. Jackie has stuck by mom through thick and thin…Mom and I will dearly miss Jackie. Such a caring and selfless soul…I can imagine her earthly absence leaves such a huge hole in all the lives of those who are blessed to know her.. So thankful she is in the loving arms of her dear Savior. Such a blessed reunion we will Have with her.
Sending our love,
Jan Petzoldt and LaVel Reichle
