Mes sinceres condoleances
My sincerest condolences, i loved your mom. My dad also worked at Bear Hill for a time! Maintenance. He used to sneak patients out for a smoke😂. Ill remember her and you all with such fondness
I can hardly believe that Jacqueline is no longer with us. The memories of our time together in Brooklyn as kids will always be a blessing in my heart. Her smile and beauty had a way of lighting up any room, bringing warmth and joy to everyone around her. I never once saw her upset—she carried a grace and peace that was truly special.
Though she is no longer here in body, her spirit will forever live on in the love she shared and the lives she touched. May her soul rest in eternal peace.
Mes plus sincères condoléances à la famille
Que son âme repose en paix! 🕊️
