Jackie—Aunt Jackie to me—was someone who made life brighter just by being in it. Jaime and I were best friends for so many years, and during that time Jackie truly became like a second aunt to me. She was always full of energy, full of love, and she had this way of making everyone around her feel important and cared for.
She didn’t just love people—she showed it, every single day. Whether it was her jokes, her advice, or the way she was always ready for an adventure, she had a way of lifting your spirits without even trying. And of course, no one could forget her amazing sense of fashion. She had a style all her own, and it fit her perfectly.
I’m going to miss her so much. But I’m grateful for every memory, every laugh, every moment she shared with us. She really did make the world a little better just by being here.
