Celebrating Success







***** Maybe it was because we played on the same teams together in High School, but Jackie & I have done a lot of things together. I can not imagine my life with out my sister Jackie. She is always a winner. I've watched her very carefully as she intimidated the opponents with the assurance that she was going to take it to them. I was a bit more polite except when pushed into a corner. There was a look in her eye that she would give me that would say "you can handle that. " If I was doubting myself & she snapped me out of that on more than one occasion. She does this now with her children! You will hear in the sidelines of her the basketball game saying: "box her out! go for the ball!" It's funny to me. She looks for the core issue and attacks that to win. She knows how to simplify , how to delegate, how to gather her forces for maximum power. She keeps getting better.

Through all of our adventures we have known that we would be there for each other. When I think of Jackie I think FUN! There is so much more to say, so much more history with us: like the time I wrote her that I hate you letter that Jayne found and saved. Or the time we walked to Flushing and got lost(LOL) or more recently when we played volleyball or tennis & the organizers would try to split us up because we were too good together, but I will save those for the tell all book. For now I will say Jackie is a family treasure~ she is a winner and an inspiration and taught me the power of change. Happy Birthday Jacks wish I could get you something nice Next year!

I do agree, you were quite a team. Jack had the power to bring out the tiger in anybody. I am glad that you put those remembrances and give kisses for me. Love to you and Jackson, Jayne.
