I didn’t find out that Jacqueline left us until I had written about Dick. I would have sent her my condolences. Now I can only send them to J.J. and all who knew her. I will certainly contribute to the animals in the name of both siblings. May they both be surrounded by many animals, foreven. Linda chene
