    Goodbye old classmate and next door (across the road) neighbor in West Point, MS for many years.
    Many good memories from the recent years of internet conversations, and sharing pictures that I
    thought were “pretty”, but Jackie would comment back on their “beauty”. Truly a beautiful person.

    Jackie was the fifth member of our “clique” during our years at West Point High School: 1948 – 1953. The other Perps were Roy “Spanky” Bruce, Noel Malone, John Clifton Gable and Rush Peace. Jackie was the epitome of Clean Living…………I thought that she would live to be 100++.
    I was shocked to receive the news of her passing. She was a best friend and was loved by all of us. May she RIP.
