Gaye, it’s wonderful to know Jackie had someone so loving as you. We had fun days with many laughs back in our early military days. She will be greatly missed and lovingly cherished.

Well, that was a real tear jerker. . . . . I had forgotten what Jacque looked like more than 50 years ago when we first met in Honolulu. We have stayed close friends over the last half century which is what you would expect with two people who share the same birth date and LEOs at that! Quite a journey, many friends and family and your military service which meant so much to you. You will never be forgotten kiddo. . . . . that charming smile, wicked laugh and “kolohe” (rascal for those non-Hawaiians) sense of humor. . . . all a part of our shared history and memory. Rest in peace – you’ve earned it after a valiant fight. Much love from Hawaii.
What a beautiful tribute to a life well-lived! Our hearts go out to you Aunt Gaye, David, Aunt Barb and Aunt Donna. Her laughter was infectious and her love without end. Gone much too soon…until we meet again, Auntie M…
Wonderful job, Gaye. Thank you for putting pictures on of our get togethers in Maine when you were both here. She was a wonderful cousin!
Love to you! Norma
Gaye, We loved you both so much. I’m so sorry for your loss. Please accept my sympathy. I only knew Jacque as half of “JacqueandGaye” and what a fun couple you made. I’ll never forget the times we’ve had together, especially times with the kids (2 and 4-legged). I will celebrate her memory with a Coke float and smile at the remembrance of this kind lady. With much love, Beth
Thank you for all the pictures, Gaye. I am grateful for our time together on the trip home. Thank you for helping with that call that day, it will help me till my end comes. I miss her so much, already.
Love and Hugs
Donna
She was a beautiful sole. Gaye, the pictures were perfect. I loved the pictures of her in her uniform. I am so glad I was able to know her and be a “little” part of your happiness. I will always remember that infectious smile. Rest in heaven dear Jacque.
I will miss you my cousin! You were such a wonderful person with a heart of gold. I know you are in a better place. You were such an important part of our family. You will be missed by so many! Fly high! I love you ❤️
