Our hearts go out to all of you. How lucky you all are to have had such a extraordinary Wife, Mother, Mother-In-Law, and Grandmother in your lives. Not having that in my life, I used to fantasize about being part of the Whiffen Family and Jackie and Gill always did make me feel like their daughter with love and genuine caring. With all of her own children and grandchildren to remember, she would never forget to send me a Chirstmas card every year and inquire about my husband and 4 boys, remembering their names, how old they were, and was sincerely curious about every detail of my life from our last conversations. A most remarkable person, Jackie traveled from New Hampshire to take care of every detail of the reception at our home after Mark's Mother died. Coffee maker, paper plates, utensils, napkins, food, set-up and clean-up; all from the goodness of her heart since she had never even met Mark's Mother. We couldn't have done it without Jackie and Carole and we are forever grateful. Jackie, we will miss you so much but know you are with the Lord and I take comfort in knowing I will rejoice with you in Heaven. All of our Love, Marcia and Mark.
