Jackie has an open infectious smile. She also has a grandson and two wonderful granddaughters; they live just a couple doors down on the block. Emily is now a young mom herself. Sophia was a late comer - huge surprise to their family, coming just as her older brother was graduating from high school. Having a new family member was a profound blessing and source of joy and wonderment for Jackie.
Sophia was born at home with the family present. It's a natural way to do things, with a midwife. Jackie is a "natural" woman. No hairdressers. She has naturally curly hair. No manicures. No frills, or shopping manias. If she is comfortable in slippers that's what she'll wear. But she never goes anywhere without her smile.
Living so close, Jackie and Sophia are very close. Jackie introduced Sophia to gardening, to painting, to music, etc. Sophia inherited J's cheeks and her smile. Here they are. (that's our friend Bobbi behind Jackie)
