I am so sorry to read of Jackie’s passing. Her father, Colon Rowe was the brother of my Grandmother (Bessie Rowe Edwards). I knew her mother, Louise, well. I remember attending Jackie and Richard’s wedding. I live in Greenville, NC, and wish I had known that Jackie was hospitalized here. She was a very beautiful and sweet person. I am so sorry.
