To Jacky's Family. I send you my sympathies on the passing of dear Jacky. I went to primary school with Jacky and we spent our younger years growing up together. I too lived in Achilles Cresent, and well remember Jacky's Mum and Dad, her grandmother, and sisterJudy. We had a great lot of fun together in those days. I felt very sad to hear ofJacky's passing. Kindest Regards, Lorraine Taylor, nee Martin.
Sincere condolences to Wayne to you & your family at this very sad time. With sympathy, Peter and Rowanne Shaw

You all have so many beautiful memory's that you will hold in your heart forever. Cherish your memory’s and know she will be right beside you all for the rest of your journey in life. May she rest in peace. All my love Always Joanne (Pauls Daughter)
To my dearest friend Jackie, whom I met in Class 4A at Takapuna Grammar School and whom I discovered only lived two streets away from me, and only a few houses up the street from my future husband Terry. Jackie had the most infectious smile which endeared her to everyone she met. You instantly knew she was a happy person and that was subsequently proven to be the case. I first met Jackie’s daughter Anne on a trip back to NZ when we went to Whakapapa Lodge on Mt Ruapehu to show the kids what snow looked like. Jackie and I had to climb a mountain in the snow with our three little girls between the ages of four and six, her daughter Anne, and mine Tanya, Jacqueline and Haley Jane, and all our luggage and food. When we got there we discovered that there was no electricity or heating. We had to wrap ourselves in newspaper to try to stay warm and all the food was frozen solid. We somehow survived the night and many decades later our friendship survived as well. I will never forget you, all my love Gale Beverley Martin
Dearest Jackie - We are all thinking of you, Gale sends all her love and has many happy memories of your younger days. You were like a lovely big sister to me and I was the happy recipient of some discarded dresses. How funny that our daughters ended up training together. You are a very special person. With love and many happy memories.
I first got to know Jackie when my daughter Melanie became engaged to, then married Zach. I have wonderful and very fond memories of Jackie -there were many pleasant family times spent. – *Meeting up out on the gulf on our boats. *Time spent in Spain with her when our first grandson Cashwas born, almost 20 years ago to the day. Sharing the celebrations of the extension of our families was very special for us all. Jacke was a kind, considerate, gentle and easy person to be with. Over the years I have spent family Christmases with her and her family. Jackie has endured a great deal over time, and from that, I’ve respected the way she has shown quiet resilience and tolerance. To me, she has expressed her love for our dear grandsons Cash and Colt, and her gratitude in my daughter for, such an amazing, dedicated Mum to the boys, our grandsons, in the absence of Zach over the many years, while he has been away offshore sailing. Jackie may your heavenly home be more peaceful than your earthly home has been. Rest in peace, and God bless you. Xx

Dear Aunty Jackie, what a fabulous woman in so many ways. My mother’s stylish younger sister who was always there with little cousin Anne when the Gillanders Clan came to stay at Achilles Ave with Granddad and Grandma - a full house full of love - happy days. Will always remember your quirky sense of humour, giving Anne a dose of tickle torture in her bedroom and a memorable sailing experience with yourself, Uncle Wayne, Anne and young Zac. Bye for now Lotta Love Kev
