    Steve: Sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I am unable to come up to Mitchell on Sunday, but wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and family at this time. I remember many good time we had when kids living on Mississippi Ave, Mitchell, which seem many years ago. If you remember when my father was in the hospital at Madison, your mother and dad would take mother, and us to Madison and we would spend the week in with your Grandmother Ross and your Dad would take us up to the hospital on Sunday to visit my Dad. Took us over to Clifty Falls park one Sunday for a picnic before we came home. We used to hunt golf balls once in a while, at the golf course. And all the good time we had in the old neighborhood. Anyway, sorry I can not be there on Sunday, but I will have your family in my prayers, and knowing Jackie she will be missed by all.

    Aunt Jackie, you we loved by so many! I will miss your sense of humor and beautiful smile. You always had a way of lifting my spirits when I was down. I will cherish the memories of all the vacations we shared(1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, all the trips to Florida, Tunica, Las Vegas, Gatlinburg etc.) I am so happy that you have been set free of your horrible pain and suffering with arthritis. I know you and Uncle Kenny are once again "cutting a rug" up in Heaven. Until we meet again, know that you are loved!

    To the Nolan and Ross families, I am sorry for your loss. Jacking and I were lifelong friends from grade school through Freshman year at Madison, then resuming that friendship when she came to Mitchell as a Nolan. She was instrumental in my being asked to represent the Plew Family at the Church's 100th Anniversary. I'm sure she is bringing many smiles to her friends and family in heaven. I remember hearing of Jackine driving in the median (Wanda Murphy as passenger) to get around slow moving traffic ahead of her. Yep ! She will bring smiles. Bob
