As a kid, I always looked up to my big cousin "Jackie".  Although he was only 7 months older than me  he was brave, fearless and daring.  I on the other hand
 a " scaredy cat".  Yet he never made me feel  so.  He always encouraged me to "tag" along with him and his friends. 
As he aged, his winsome qualities grew.  He was a very loyal friend, kind and generous almost to a fault.  His devotion to his Mom, his sisters, children & grandchildren was endless. 
Jackie , I will miss you, your  big heart, the twinkle in your eyes and that "devilish" smile that played around your mouth that always left one wondering just what were you thinking, but knowing that you really cared about them.  You made this world a better place just by being in it and now Heaven will never be the same.
Welcome home dear cousin, say hi to all the relatives up there and save a place for the rest of us.
OOO's  &  XXX's,  love  &  prayers
