In Memory
Jaqueline Josephine Tojeira, October 26, 2000 – September 11, 2015: Our hearts go out to the family of Jaqueline Josephine Tojeira. JJ lost her battle with leukemia after being diagnosed in June 2015. She was a always a happy 14-year-old with so much to offer, she would light up every room she walked into and start conversations with everyone, even if she didn’t know you, be sure she’d touched your heart. We are the blessed ones to have been graced by Jackie’s big heart and her inviting personality. Now, so many hearts are broken and so many memories are left behind. We pray that the Love of God enfolds her parents during their journey through grief. Peace, Prayers and Blessings from your family and friends. Rest in peace, and sleep with the Angels JJ, we will always love you. We will never forget you!
