    We are so sorry to hear that Jackie passed away. I met Jackie through my mom who was Jackie's friend at the BG. Jackie was a kind, beautiful and classy woman. I will be forever grateful to Jackie for introducing me to her sister MaryJane, whose friendship was one of the best parts of my life when I lived in DC. Sending you a big hug.
