Re: I saw this on Facebook regarding Jacquie from Jen...

Thanks for being on the look out, Rhonda.

Jacquie let her kick-ass personality shine through to this group. Whether on a three-wheeler, putting out "goofy" decorations or dressing her stunning daughter for a big occasion, we saw many sides. She also enjoyed a visit from Tiptoe and the gang.

I know Jen and WOS's daughter will have boatloads of fun and powerful memories to share.

Be at peace dear friend.
