My condolences to Stephanie, Ryan, Joe, Jim, and all others who were fortunate enough to love and be loved by Jacqueline.

I learned so much from Jackie.  I have always admired her great spirit and I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to know her.  The pearls of wisdom and love that she showed me are priceless.  I will live life honoring her by practicing her teachings.  God is love.  Serve others.  Sing your song everyday.  I will Jackie.  I promise.  With love, always.  Amen.

Stephanie,

Joe and I send our thoughts and prayers for strength during this difficult time. I'm here for you if you need anything. Love you!

Heather and Joe

Stephanie, 

I know this is a very hard time for you, and your brothers.  I am so very sorry for your loss, and I know it's not what you really want to hear right now, but if you need ANYTHING I'm here for you.  I love you!

So sorry to hear about Jackie's death. I only got to know her recently through the Bail Out the People Movement but she seemed to have alot of spirit and fight in her. I wish we could have known her for a longer time. It is sad to hear of her passing so soon. My prayers are with her and her family.

Dear Steph, Joe and Ryan,
May God bless you with his light and love.  May you keep yourself open to feeling your Mom's light shine upon you.  Although she is no longer in this physical world I am confident that her sprit is with each of you and will remain with you through out your time on this earth. When ever you need her just remember to slow down and quiet yourself and listen to her voice.  Many Blessings to all of you!
Love, Connie

Mom will sorely be missed by not only me but so many others in her life that she has touched and helped over the years. It truly is an honor to have known a loving woman who took me into her home and family with open arms. I will forever cherish that about Mom as well as the rest of the family that I know. So to Ryan, Joe, Steph and Evan I love and miss you all and again I am so sorry I could not be there to comfort or just to talk to. Soon guys soon I will though and I will pay my last respects to Mom some way, but in the meantime take this signing and a candle being lit along with the flowers that are sent as a token of my deepest sympathy and gratitude. Thank you Mom for all you did for me and I love you!! No nicknames this time Mom!! You are home and at peace with God.

DEAREST STEPH & EVAN & FAMILY. PLEASE KNOW YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS AND GIVE THAT PRECIOUS LITTLE MAN A BIG HUG FROM ME! LOVE YOU & GOD IS WITH YOU ALWAYS. BONNIE JUNEK

Jackie is a friend of mine. We worked for the County of Milwaukee. We went to many scenes together when someone had died-and the family needed help. 
We both had different roles, but we were like Batman & Robin. She never failed to find a way to help a family in need. As a death investigator for Milwaukee County I could leave a scene knowing that Jackie would take care of the grieving family that I had called her out to- and I did not have to worry about them. She found cribs for infants, food for the hungry, electricity for the lightless, and kind words for the devastated. I could call her at 3 in the morning.  She was my back up. Things have changed since Jackie left the county. There is no longer a "crisis response team" at the county for us to use, but her compassion lives in me and I resort to the "Jackie Plan" at the scene of a death to the best of my ability, which is not good enough. The world is not good enough without Jackie. 

I love you Jackie,

Jenni Penn
