Percy, Krista and family Jackie will be dearly missed. A very good friend whom I had lots and lots a laugh with. She would simply say things the way they were. Across the miles, we would talk as if we were living next door to each other. That smile of hers and the sense of humour will be with me forever. Please accept my condolences. My thoughts are with you. - Posted by: Lyse M. Daigle (past co worker and friend) on: May 19, 2015
