It's been almost 4 years since you left us and I still see you at times. I will never forget you.

It's been a couple years but I can still remember the last conversation we had and the exact moment I was told you were gone. I still wear your necklaces and rings everyday, finding myself almost having a panic attack if I don't have one on because those are the only things I can keep close to me at all times to have your guidance, poise, confidence, and calmness with me. It really sucks that you passed away out of nowhere, being the healthiest and most alive person I've ever met and it really sucks that it had to be while I was in middle school, a time where I wasn't myself. I'm graduating high school in a few months and going off to college in the fall, still remembering to not pluck my eyebrows too much like you would say to me every time I came to your house. I miss you randomly calling me while you were at your hairdresser asking me if I wanted you to keep the black and red in your blonde hair or go with purple or any weird thing you came up with and doing whatever I wanted. I miss our girls nights where you would braid my hair and let me wear one of your expensive face masks and we would watch movies and then go to the gym the next morning to see all of your cool weight lifting friends. I miss waking up to what could only be you walking down the hallway, signature heels walking at the same strutting beat and the sound of your bracelets banging together as you swayed your hands, always walking around with the confidence everyone dreams to have. I know you're not in heaven because as a Buddhist, you believed in coming back after death into something meaningful or just be there as a presence to help your loved ones and keep your spirit alive and I see that all around me everyday. It gets creepy sometimes when I'm procrastinating on homework and my phone will randomly shut off or the broom will fall over when I forgot I needed to sweep, but thanks for always looking out for me. Our relationship taught me that you don't need to be blood related to be family or for someone to be one of the most important and impactful people in your life, although I honestly didn't even know we weren't until I was about 11 years old. With no kids or grandkids, you treated me as both and gave me everything I needed from actual things like clothes and cute jewelry to lessons and sayings I still carry with me today. I hope I'm making you proud and I hope to somehow know you hear me. Love you Obachan

It's been well over a year since you left us and yet I still see your face sometimes. In the decades I've been employed with the state, few have been "buds" in the workplace with me. You were one of those few and I miss your presence, your wit, your humor, and your friendship. I'm thankful to have known you.

I miss you everyday! I love you, my best friend! Forever in my heart!

God Bless you and your family! The world lost a phenomenal woman!

Jackie I miss you so much. You believed in me and I believed in you. I will work hard and make you proud. You are amazing! Beast mo sam.

Its hard to believe such an amazing woman is no longer with us.  Jacqueline was truly one of my favorite clients ever!  I can't believe she is gone!  I loved doing her hair over the years and will miss her terribly.  We are all so sad she is gone.  Our sympathies go out to her family.  We are so sorry for your loss.

I was so saddened to hear of Jackie's sudden passing.  The last time I saw her was on Mother's Day at Bud Bay Café with Liz.  My thoughts and prayers are with are with you and your family.

Rest in Peace beautiful lady. You will never be forgotten.

I had the great pleasure of working with Jacqueline. She always kept me informed, listened to my concerns and provided wise counsel. I am saddened   to hear of her passing. My thougths and prayers go out to your family.

I was one of Jacqueline's students in 2007.Jacqueline made learning fun,easy and exciting. When I started working at PSPH,Jacqueline was always available to talk to about anything,even if she had a busy day. She was so full of life,it's hard for me to believe that she is gone but I know we will meet again in heaven one day. My heart goes out to the family she cared so much about.Jacqueline will be so greatly missed by everyone who's life she touched.

To the family of Jacqueline, I am sorry about your loss and my heart saddened to hear of her passing she will be miss and she will always be Jackie to me, I had a chance to work with her for years at Prov.St. Peter Hospital and My God Blessing be with you all.

To Jacqueline's family- and her mom, Liz, a very special person.  Our hearts are hurting with you at the loss of Jacqueline.  She'll always be Jackie to us because when we met you Liz- we heard all about her adventures as a young lady.  Then I had the pleasure of working with her at PSPH and discovered what an incredible person Jacqueline was.  She left places better than they were when she started and there are many traces of Jacqueline at Providence.  May your memories warm you hearts during this sad time.

They say it takes a minute to find something special in a person, an hour to appreciate them, and a day to love them, but it takes an entire lifetime to forget them.
When i was sitting in your office, waiting nervously. You walked in, and I was instantly comforted by your calmness and positive energy
I can't imagine how my life would have been, if I wasn't blessed to meet you.
Without you being part of my life, i don't think, I would have grown into the women i am today.
 You gave me a chance, when you didn't have too. The first year of working at st peters, was tough.. But you were my pillar of strength and guidance. Always lifting me up. The memory of you will always be in my heart. My condolence to your family.

Jackie, i am still stunned when i think about your passing. Although we didnt know each other too well, we worked closely together during lean process, which you actually made fun, BOOM (inside joke) We didnt get to do our golfing day like we planned. We'll all miss your kindness and vibrant attitude at DOL, may you rest in peace.

This has been such a shock.  I worked with Jacqueline from 1995-2002.  She was so amazing and had such a strong spirit.  She had so much talent at running our floor and dealing with people.  I had the privilege of socializing with her outside of work a few times.  She gave me valuable advice on everything from physical fitness, beauty tips, dog care, and how to deal with people.  I always appreciated and welcomed her advice.  She always spoke very highly of her family, particularly about her mother and brothers.  She was someone I envied a great deal.  She will be greatly missed.  My condolences go out to her entire family.

The impact that a life can have on another can never be expressed in words.  You helped me through the darkest chapter in my life.  You were truly a lighthouse in the storm and the hugs you gave me, the friendship sustained me.  You stood by me, made be believe in myself and were the dearest of friends.  You inspired me to go back to Grad school.  Through all of these things, I am a better person for knowing you.  I look forward to the day when we will meet again on the other side and am able to fully thank you.  You were a great person and I am sure you are doing wondrous things in Heaven.  Alissa

We lost a fantastic person with Jacqueline's passing.  Her positive attitude would turn any difficult situation into learning opportunity.  She was bright, responsive and caring.  Jacqueline touch many lives in her short life, she was a role model of health and full of energy.  She lived life to the fullest as if every day was a gift.  I will miss her being in our community.

Jacqueline's passion for life, genuineness and strength were an inspiration and guiding force for many people.  She set the Department of Licensing on a course of growth and excellence that will serve as just one of her many legacies.  Humanity has diminished with her passing.

Compassion
Integrity 
Intelligence 
Joy 
These are only a few of the gifts Jacqueline brought to this world. She was an extremely capable and committed teacher who was loved by her students. She will be missed.

Jacqueline was so bright, a natural leader, and willing to take on any challenge. It was my privilege to work with her at PSPH and watch her grow. Her death is a loss to all of us. Connie Huber

My deepest condolences to Jaquelines family.
She was a wonderful woman , I saw her walk her dogs often .
May you all find strength and courage to get through this most difficult time . 
God bless Jaqulines soul.

The world has lost an AMAZING woman! Jacqueline touched my life in many ways given the short time we knew eachother. She made me much more aware of LEAN processes and I loved to see her passion as she taught it to others!Jacqueline always made time for me and we shared a passion for gossip magazines! Oftentimes I would come back to my desk and there would be a stack of magazines at my desk...I knew Jacqueline had been there.
She will be truly missed! 
My heart goes out to her family!

I'm so very sorry to hear of Jacqueline's passing. I'm just in tears. I loved when you and I talked about our dogs which we did a lot. I remember many years ago a hug you gave me in a time in my life I needed it more than anything. You were the one person that knew what I was going through and were there for me. Will miss you!! My heart is aching!

ahh Jacqueline  our hearts are broken here at St Peter  over the news of your passing. I  appreciate having known you, I  wish I  would have  stopped and asked how you were doing when you called last week, I  was so busy.. I  will from now on stop and take a  moment to at least ask how someones  day is even if to only ask..  May you rest in peace..  and may God bless your family..  your in my thoughts..

I am saddened to hear of Jacqueline's passing. I worked with her for many years at Providence St Peter Hospital. My condolences to Jacqueline's family. May you be comforted in this difficult time. Margo Pelagalli, RN

The day I met you, you were a student at Clover Park and you were assigned to my floor to observe.  It was so busy that day and you jumped in and just started helping.  I knew then you were a worker and a go getter and would go far.  I was so sorry to hear of your passing.  You were my co-worker, boss, and more importantly my friend and my heart breaks.  RIP my friend.  Trish Eakin
