Dear Paul, Jessica, and Ladd family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of Jackie, devoted wife, mother, sister and grandmother. We were neighbors at the Residences at Traditions on the third floor, had many interesting conversations. Since Jackie was so intelligent, lively and energetic, we talked politics and current issues frequently. I learned from the obituary that she had been a strong force in many community organizations. May happy memories of your lives together and the love and support of family and friends help you get through this time of mourning and loss. My thoughts are with you. Sincerely, Louise Brown
Paul, Jessica and Maribeth,
