Gayle Thomas wrote a sympathy message

“I went to high school with Jackie too. We had a lot of classes together during the 4 years, the most memorable of which was English and Literature. In years since, our lives crossed occasionally...Erin's hospitalization during her infancy, an unplanned meeting at the hospital, when my husband bought Jackie's Jeep Scrambler, and lastly, our high school reunion. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Beverly, and your family. I shall miss knowing he is in this world.”

Linda Gaskins wrote a sympathy message

“Jackie and I graduated from high school together in 1968. He was so gifted in so many ways and an all-around good person. I will always remember that Super Bee he drove. I am sorry to hear of his sickness and passing. He left his mark and will be remembered fondly by all who knew him. Prayers for you, Beverly, his children, grandchildren, and all who loved him.”
