    `My deepest condolences to Kimberly. You don't remember me, but I remember you as a very young child in Mentor at your home in on the ski boat. Your mom was special, so brilliant. She was my first medical teacher and while I could not afford medical school, she encouraged me to attend Case nursing school. I knew her during her time at the VA hospital and Psychiatric residency. Jackie was a perfect listener and such a benefit to those who sought her care. The world has lost a fine doctor who dedicated her life to those in need and always with that beautiful smile. May her soul be at peace and know she was loved. Teri
