Oh Jackie Brown, so sad to see this news. I had hoped too see you again when I came to the states. We (Crenshaw and myself) had so many great times. I loved making you a tall glass of water stuffed with fruit! Will never forget you and the boys. Rest easy sweet lady. God bless.
Condolences from the Salazar family. R.I.P Jackie you were a wonderful friend . Going to miss your smile my friend , gone but never forgotten.
Dear Brian and Family,
I remember when “The Bad Seeds Band” had a reunion
bash to end all bashes! One of the band members, Allan
Jansen had neck surgery and was still wearing his white
collar brace.
Well, true to form, when the band took a break, Jackie
had cut apart a Styrofoam cooler & when Allan returned from his break, there they were, all with their “fashioned”
neck braces on! Only Jackie would have thought of this.
Jackie was a lifelong friend on earth and will be a forever friend in Heaven.
Brian, so terribly sorry for your loss. Your mom was one of a kind and I know how much you will miss her. She and Brandon will always be looking down on you. Prayers for you all.
I am so very sorry for the loss of Jackie💕. She was so fun loving. I can only imagine how she is laughing it up with Brandon and the rest of her family in the heavens💕💕💕
I just heard about Jackie and want to express my sympathy to all of her friends and family. Jackie was my kids babysitter when Kenneth and I lived in McGregor, Texas. Her husband and mine did a little running around together. I loved Jackie. She was always so upbeat and happy. I think she loved life. Rest In Peace beautiful Angel and I’ll see you across that beautiful river 🙏❤️
Jackie was one of a kind she had the biggest heart and was Loved by all! She will be missed but Never forgotten. Love you Jackie and god bless your family ! RIP my sweet friend 🙏🏻💜
Aunt Jackie,
You were more to me than an aunt, you were my friend. You were always there to lean a hand, a shoulder to cry on or just listen. I will miss your laugh and smile, but most of all your love.
Brian,
A family should not have to suffer so much loss. I am so proud of the strong, confident man you have become. Sending you love and prayers.
Everyone who ever met my Aunt Jackie knows that she needs no introduction. She was by all means a one of a kind. No one could walk in a room and make everyone laugh and leave you with a smile like her.
Brian,
So sorry for your loss. Stay strong for all the family that still needs you.
That was a beautiful video tribute to Jackie. I have never seen her that she didn’t have a beautiful, radiant and welcoming smile for everyone; she is smiling with the angels.
Rest in eternal peace. 💐
The Braziel family.
I am so sorry for the loss of Jackie. What a fun and loving friend she was. She always had a smile on her face and would put smiles on others. She could make you laugh even in the toughest times of your life. It seems like every time we would talk on the phone or in person we would reminisce about old memories particularly a major time in high school involving an incident on the “Bow Wow” bus. What laughs we have had over that time.
I miss you Jackie and am so thankful the good Lord put you in my life.
My sincere condolences. She was very special. She has touched many hearts and lives. She was there to steer me in the right direction when I lost my mom. I can honestly say I don’t know where I would be today without her stepping in and ,”waking me up” so to speak. I owe her a lot. I’m gonna miss her. There will never be another one like her. My thoughts and prayers are with y’all
