So many good memories included my friend Jackie. GMG, youth group gatherings, Sunday School,Isanti days, hayrides, sledding, trick-n-treating, and she always had the warmth of a cinnamon bun hug! I’m truly sorry for your sadness and lost you are feeling Kathleen. You and your sister were to two peas in a pod, your love and friendship were as deep as the roots of an oak tree. Jackie won’t leave you without giving you the strength to live on. She has gone from this place but never from your heart and from the many hearts that she touched.
Hugs and many tears,

I will miss her always . I know she is with the comforting hands of God. My prayers are with you and your family. Love Wanda
I’ll miss Jacquie. All the years I’ve known her-she has always been the most caring and loving person anyone would have the privilege of knowing. Someone else said it best, cinnamon bun hugs. How perfect. You knew you were loved when you got hugs from Jacquie. And the best neck massages ever. At work she saved my aching neck many, many times as well as many others. Be comforted in the knowledge that everyone loved Jacquie and will miss her bright smile and hugs and genuine caring. Always a kind word for everyone. She was an inspiration to all to try and be as kind and loving and she was. Heaven is rejoicing in welcoming her home. We must all release her to Heaven. She is free of pain and suffering and worry. She is at peace. It was my privilege to have known her. God speed dear friend. Love, Pat
Oh, Kathleen, what a shock to hear about Jacquie! My love and prayers are with you. How good to rest in the assurance that she is safe in the arms of Jesus and to also know that He is your Strong Tower. Praying that you will be lifted up and held in His love and peace. I will miss Jacquie’s smile. Love and peace to you, Joyce

So sorry to hear about Jacquie’s passing. Growing up in Isanti and going to church at Elim has given me lots of good memories. Jacquie is part of those memories that I cherish so much. I know that she will be missed by so many people because as I remember she touched so many lives. Now she is in God’s hands.
Jacquie was a friend to all…a kind hearted, gentle spirit. She will be missed by many, and remembered always.
Love to Kathleen and the rest of the Mattson family.
Kathleen, Our hearts and prayers go out to you. Jacquie was a a very special person who always put a smile on my face. She had a great since of humor and we had many a good laugh together. I’m really going to miss her. The last time I saw her she shared her sorrow about losing your mother, now they are together in a much better place and they are smiling down on all of us.
