Jackie passed but I only found out tonight. She was a very sweet and pretty classmate of mine. The last time I saw her was when my niece was trying to be born at HVCH and Jackie was my sister in laws nurse. It was a special night and even more special because I saw my school friend after so many years . I did not know what she had done with her life until I saw her Dec 21, 1989 at the hospital. I was so thrilled to see her. Unfortunately, I never ran across her again. I am very sad to know she has transitioned from this world. You were a special person, Jackie. RIP
