My deepest condolences to Jacki's family, and especially AJ. I met Jacki when she still lived in Vernon Hills, and immediately knew we would be friends! She was an amazing person. Heaven has truly received an Angel with Jacki.

To the Kraft family,
So very very sad to hear of Jacki's passing. She suffered a lot in the past years, now the angels lifted her body and Jack is waiting for her with his arms wide opened. Take Care and God be with you all at this time
