Hello All,

I'm writing this out of sheer pain of missing my sister and hoping that my update will bring a smile to your faces (and mine as well).  While this site isn't probably meant for this....breaking the rules is something Jackie always approved of!

Todd decided to pay us a visit in Wisconsin recently and it happened to be over Jackies's Birthday which was September 28th.  He is doing quite well and is enjoying some of life's pleasures as he veers out of his normal day to day routine.  On his visit back, he went to a Packer game, celebrated his 70th birthday with his traditional meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas and lemon mirage pie, Golfed, went up north to see Kim and Henry in Eagle River and spent some time with my family and visited the Wheel Houses' annual pig roast.  There he was able to connect with many of Jackies High School friends, and some of his own as well. It was a really great 10-day visit and it made my heart happy. 

At the memorial, Todd opened up Jackies belongings to her immediate family members like her kids and sisters.  Then to all her friends and other family members.  I took a few pieces with the intent of giving them it away to people who knew her and couldn't get to the memorial in May.  If you'd like a piece, please reach out to me and I'd gladly send you something...she would love that. While I know she's never coming back, my memory of her and all the love, wisdom, laughs, pain and kindness are deep within my soul as I'm sure it is in yours.   I hope she knows how much she is missed and was loved here on earth.... Peach, Love  xoxo  Michele O.
