There are some people who come into your life and leave footprints on your heart forever. Jackie was one of those people.
We met at 18, starting our nursing journey together, and from that day a friendship began. She even stood beside me as my bridesmaid when I was 24.
So many happy memories come flooding back – laughter filled evenings, brunches in Raywell, shopping trips to Next, and our inevitable stop for afternoon treats in Hotel Chocolat. The ordinary moments that became extraordinary simply because they were shared with Jackie
She was kind, funny, loyal, caring and the sort of friend everyone hopes to find but few are lucky enough to have. And, without question, she made the best cheesecake in Yorkshire.
There are no words big enough for this loss. Just an ache that won’t go away, and overwhelming gratitude that I was blessed to call her my best friend.
Thank you, Jackie, for a lifetime of friendship, laughter, love and memories. You will be missed more than words can ever say, but loved and remembered every day.
Sleep peacefully, my beautiful friend ❤️
