Jacqueline Gifford Obituary

August 9,2009

Dearest Alicia,Kimberly,Kevin and Michael....

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Philippians 4:8

...knowing your hearts are also filled with "such" thoughts of dear Jacqueline ...
...and as today marks the fourth year of Edwards passing ...it also marks the almost second month of Jackie and Edward and Mommy and Daddy and Michelle Dawn and Barbara together in heaven...
...all so deeply missed

With love
Christina

to the gifford family ,sorry about your loss.i hope that this scripture bring you some comfort.rev.21:4.in part say death will be no more.

I'm so very sorry to learn of Jackie's passing. We met when I came to the U.S. Army Reserve Command in 1992. She was a good friend. She will be missed. We used to call her "Momma Jack" since she thought of us as her "kids". We had a lot in common, had a lot of fun, and she told some wild stories. I loved her red hair and wonderful laugh. When I left the USARC, we still sent Christmas cards to one another. I'm sending my condolences, but my heart aches. She fought bravely. She is gone too sone. With love, Dyna Duncan

I am sorry to learn of Jackie's
passing. I attended Fountain-Ft. Carson High School, and Blair Business College with her. I didn't realize she was still in the area and am sorry we lost contact.

It was a sad day to learn that Jackie left us. She was a wonderful person and will missed by all her friends in San Antonio. We know that Jackie is in a place of no pain and eternal happiness. God Bless her.

It's been a week since you have been gone from my life. I miss you so much!I know longer have my best girlfriend to go to when I need advice. You were my rock when I was sad or angry, now I don't know what to do. I know you are in a better place, no longer in any pain. I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU!!

Kimberly

Today we honored our Mom, and the overwhelming love that was displayed by family and friends was astounding. It was amazing and still is daily to see just how many lives she touched and how many people she made feel special. We will truly miss our Mom, but we are very thankful for the condolences, love, and gratitude that everybody has given. If we can be just half of the person that our Mom was and still is in our hearts, we will be better off than most. We take this time to Thank her for all the love, knowledge, patience, understanding, kindness, basically the core of values that she instilled in everbody she met. Thanks Mom for everything.
WE LOVE YOU and WE MISS YOU DEEPLY!!!!

Although I didn't know your mom, you have my deepest sympathies. Just know that she lived a full and wonderful life.

To Kevin and Family,

Once I heard the news I broke down my heart was so heavy. If you only knew how special your Mom was. Words can't express how I feel, she was such a great person, she was my role model.She always would encourage me when I was going thru family crisis. Jackie was such a dear friend and I loved her very much. My prayers are with you all and I wish I could be there with you all. Just remember your Mom really loved her Kiddo's as she would say. Just stay close to one another and love each other. God Bless you all.

Kim and Kevin,

Please accept out sincerest sympathies from our family to yours.

The two of you may not remember us from Roosevelt Elementary; my brother and myself have always thought of the two of you very fondly. I just wish I had heard about the two of you under much better circumstances.

My wish is that God will comfort you and your family at this time. You're in our prayers.

With much love and prayers,
Mike and Teri Kierstead

To the Gifford Family: Jackie was one of a kind. Big heart and big smile. She always made me laugh when I would stop by her "Cube" to "hide out" until close of business. Her kindness will be rewarded. With our deepest sympathies. God Bless you. Nick Stravelakis and Family.

To Jackie's family: please accept my sincerest sympathies for your loss. I knew Jackie at Fountain/Fort Carson High School. She was a classmate, cheerleader and a fun person. I am joyful that she had a productive, happy and fulfilling life. Nick Lacey, Colonel, USAF (ret)

Please accept our deepest sympathies.
We will miss you. Milissia Witte and Ezra Tatman

Jackie was our friend and well as family. She will aways be the mommy. I will miss her deeply. Please accept our deepest sympathies. Georgia Briggs-Witte and Sam S. Witte

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Feel no guilt in laughter, she knows how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she’s not here to share
You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to
She’d hope that you can carry on, the way you always do
So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared
Let memories surround you. A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, or even a special day
That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here
And fills you with the feelings that she is always near
For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safe within your heart
