My condolences to the Abbott family. I thought of Jackie as my aunt because of the close relationship between our families. I spent a lot of summer days picking beans and berries with Trevor and Jackie. Tons of great memories.. Rest in peace.

Our heartfelt condolences to Sally, Trev, and Troy and their families. I have such fond memories of Aunt Jackie. She was always upbeat, happy, and such a blessing to all of us nieces and nephews. She will be greatly missed by all of us.

A Prayer For My Mom…
I miss you. You gave me my life. You were my protector, my teacher, my moral compass, my comfort. No one worries about me the way you did. No one loves me the way you did.
Please forgive me for the times I caused you pain, and for the time I took you for granted. I can’t begin to fathom all the sacrifices you made for my sake.
I want to thank you for all the ways you blessed my life. Nothing can replace the gaping hole your death has left in my life. But, mixed together with all my sadness, there is great joy for having known you.
I will remember your smile, your touch. I will remember your laughter, your kindness, your generosity, your determination, your love.
Thank you for the time we shared, for the love you gave, for the wisdom you spread. I will always treasure the lessons you taught me. I will carry them with me all the days of my life. I am proud to be your child.
May God watch over you and bless you with gentleness and with love. As you blessed me. Rest in peace, Mom. I love you.
