Peacefully, sleep comes to a dear, beloved heart.
Quietly, we understand the time has come to part.
Tenderly, the love shines on – a never-ending light.
Gratefully, we feel its warmth and say, “Sweet dreams, good-night.”

Book club will not be the same without Jackie.

To all the Corneslius family - I only knew Jackie through our association with the Hill Country Quilt Guild. As a new member 10 years ago, Jackie was always so welcoming and helpful. She was a well loved and honored member of the guild and will certainly be missed. Comfort and prayers for all of the family.

Amber, David, and all of Jackie Cornelius family, I’m sending thanks for having known Jackie. She brought joy into my life by our friendship in our local ABC Book Club. Jackie suggested some interesting books to discuss, she was a great hostess, told us funny, or interesting stories, and cared for all of us whom she met.

We hosted a 90th birthday party at Cafe’ at the Ridge, complete with carrot cake birthday cake. She loved the attention!

Jackie’s Summit Neighborhood friend,
