I was so saddened yesterday to hear of the passing of Jackie.  We car pooled to CPHS & sat next to each other in chorus...she had a beautiful voice.  I am also grateful to have had a few conversations with Jackie this last year. Jackie very much wanted to attend our multi-class reunion in 2012, but was not physically able. She was a dear, sweet friend who helped make many good memories while at CPHS.

Always sad to hear of a fellow classmate mate at CPHS...seems just like yesterday we were running up and down the halls.  Sweet person and fond memories.  She will be missed.

Jackie had a beautiful voice and a beautiful smile.  I wish I could have seen her before she passed.  Her family will be in our prayers.
