My prayers go out to all of you . What a wonderful person and one of the most enjoyable person to be with. She will be missed. God bless.
Jeff ans Skaaland family, I am saddened to hear the passing of your mother. My deepest sympathy to you and your family, Jimm Moore
My deepest sympathy to Rueben, Judy, and all of Jacque’s family. She will be greatly missed. Jacque was always one of the highlights of our Wednesday American Legion Auxiliary sewing group. She could always be counted on to say something that would have us all laughing or blushing.
She was a good friend and neighbor. I will miss her a lot.
Our love, thoughts and prayers are with Rueben and family.
Sending you our condolences. Jeff, I will keep you and Jody and the rest of your family in my prayers for peace, comfort and healing.
Jacque will be missed.
On behalf of our clinic we wish to express out sympathy on the passing of Jacque, she was a wonderful witty person who will be missed.
God bless Jacque and her family for all the great memories
