At this time of year, I always think of Jacki.  She was the first of my cousins in her generation.  Although I live half a continent away, I always enjoyed spending time with Jacki even though I saw her infrequently now that I'm on the East coast.

Sincere condolences! 
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers!

I am so sorry for the loss to your family and community. I worked briefly with Jacki to organize a winter farmer’s market at North Shore Congregation Israel in 2017. Even through this brief encounter, her genuine kindness shined through! She was so generous with her time—giving us a tour of the synagogue and telling us some of its history. At the market, she was busy repairing a treasured stuffed animal for a family member—she said she was the “family seamstress.” The world has grown a shade darker with the loss of her light. I am so sorry. Lillian Banks

George Streske and Family want to give our sincere condolences. We are so very sorry for your loss. Sending prayers for comfort and strength

My deepest sympathies to you and your family, Bruce. Having lost my wife to cancer, I know there are no words that will give you and your daughter comfort or reason for this loss. It is in the smiles, love and laughter found in your memories of Jacki and through the support of friends and family that you will find peace and solace. May God's blessings be upon you all.


My deepest condolences to the family.
Adela Weinstein

I'm very sorry for your loss. Be assured of my prayers.

Dear Bruce, Leah, and Family,
I was so saddened to hear about the loss of your beloved Jackie.
She sounds like a wonderful, loving, and beautiful person.
I was looking forward to visiting with She and Bruce in North Dakota.
My heartfelt and deepest condolences for your loss of Jackie.
Love, Marlys Haakedahl

Jacki, you were my first childhood girlfriend in 1965. We had many great times as children, as girlscouts and as teens. We were pregnant together and then moms to our beautiful daughters. We always laughed when we got together.  I love you and will miss you always.  Lisa Pennington 

My profound condolences to Jacki's family.

Bruce and Leah, we are terribly sorry for the loss of Jacki who was kind, generous and had such a twinkle and joyful presence. We are sending you love and support now and ever after. May the love you shared with Jacki bring you peace and comfort.

Although Jackie was a personal friend, a member of my congregation I considered her a co worker because each Monday she and I discussed who had passed in the congregation and how that should be cared for and recognize how that should be recognized. She was tireless in her attention to our members. Her loss this week was very personal to me. I have thought of very little else this week. May her soul be bound up with all who loved and knew her.  - Herbert”Rabbi” Bronstein 

I met Jacki when we both worked at the Highland Park library in the early 2000s. We shared many laughs and the shared moments made it more like friends getting together rather than work.

My husband and I enjoyed many get togethers with her and her husband Bruce. I have added a photo that I took of them at Bruce's birthday party in 2010. We met up with them for a Ravinia concert a couple of times and often ran into them around town. Jacki was always there at the HP events, like the Taste and we loved just chatting away with her.

We will miss Jacki, her easy smile and just catching up.

So sorry for your loss, Bruce.   We'll pray for you and your family that God grant you the strength to get through this difficult time.  May God grant Jacki peace.

Bruce, so very sorry for your loss. Our prayers and blessings your way. RIP Jacquelyn…Tony Castillo (LPRFC)…

Bruce, I’m so very sorry for your loss. My most sincere condolences to you and Leah and your entire family. Much love, Terry Friedman Beachler


Jacki was an amazing and kind person
She was always available to anyone that needed help.
This was a senseless act and she will be missed very much.
May her memory be a blessing and our deepest  condolences to her family.
