I have only known Jaci for a couple of years, but it felt like we had been friends for a long time time. I met her at Bible Study Fellowship (BSF). She was my discussion leader and we became good friends. She was a blessing to our group. She truly cared about each one of us. She was always gracious, loving, caring and compassionate. She had a great love for our Savior and you could see it in all she did and all that she said. She was a powerful prayer partner. She always made me feel uplifted when talking to her or just being around her. She loved Richard and her family. She would talk of them often in our conversations and always our conversations would turn to our Lord. I am sure in the moment she closed her eyes to this earthly life and opened her eyes in heaven, God was standing there to say " Well done good and faithful servant". I was so looking forward to seeing Jaci every week in BSF beginning in September but we will see each other in heaven one day. I love her and will greatly miss her.

What a wonderful friend......you are in a much much better place now. You were a true friend and confidante. My heart aches - no regrets. You were such an inspiration to me. We could share our deepest hurts and concerns in our lives and never had to worry about trusting our privacy - and it was always carried to Our Lord in prayer.You are with Vinie now - no more grief and sorrow Jaci. No more pain and suffering. I'm so thankful for having the opportunity to have shared our friendship - I will always miss you...

Oh, sweet Mrs. Jaci! I’ll miss teasing with you about how I married a Michigan fan, and y'all are still fans of the state down there. Haha. I’m so grateful for the years I got to know you and Mr. Richard at PTW! Whether it was decorating tables for the Christmas service dinner, or setting something else up, y'all always had the biggest servant hearts to help and serve however, whenever, and wherever needed. Your heart and hunger and desire for the Lord was seen well by everyone who knows you. I’m praying for so much comfort, grace and strength for Mr. Richard and the rest of your sweet family, right now. And I’m grateful that if you’re not here on Earth anymore, at least you’re in the absolute best place you could ever be- the loving arms of Father!

Jaci was a very special person. She loved her family and friends and always stepped up to give a helping hand to anyone in need. We shared many holidays with Jaci and Richard they became a part of our family. My prayer and thoughts are with the family.

Susan Jacob June 17, 2021

I loved Jaci..she was a wonderful, kind, loving, generous person. I worked with Jaci when she had her upholstery shop. She was so amazing at what she did. It came so natural to her. Such talent. Her and Richard always had the boys at church. Such a blessing. I grew to love those boys. The youth group was a lot of fun. Always enjoyed going to their house. Never a dull moment. Lol When hurricane Laura came through Texas it destroyed my son's and daughter in law business. Richard and Jaci drove for Louisiana to help clean out. It was hot and such a dirty job. They hung like troopers. So blessing to be part of her life. I will miss you Jaci!!
