Joyel and I send our heartfelt condolences to the family. We miss her already, and our visits to Arkansas will never be the same without being able to visit our wonderful friend, Ms. Jackie. At the end of our last visit, provided we never got to visit again on earth, Ms. Jackie and I agreed to meet again on Heaven's bright shore. Love and prayers, Sharon and Joyel

We will greatly miss this loving cousin. I always referred to her as the "Betty Boop" Cousin. family and friends that knew her in earlier years could see why...with her spit curls and big eyes. I am gonna miss her beyond words. She was one of the staples that kept the glue in the Willis Family as well as the many friends, keeping us all close to her. She was a rock for me...I loved her very much.
Keep in touch, the rest of you, and let's not let the string end with her passing.
Our heart goes out to all of you, prayers and thoughts too.
