Jacqueline was so happy whenever I stopped in and always wanted me to stay longer. I loved that she and Marvin were crazy about one another. Once when I was there, she was wearing a wig because she had just had a haircut and Marvin didn’t like it, so they had me try to fix her hair. We all three had fun and laughed aver that. The last time I visited, she was weak but still glad to see me and happy when I prayed for her before leaving. My final memory was her sweet smile for me as I left–again, a little too soon for her. I loved Jaqueline–and Marvin, too. I will miss them but am so glad they are together in heaven.
Beautiful Jacquie inside and out shared her love of sewing with my sweet Lydia. She encouraged her and gave her materials and gifted her gentle knowing smile to her, one seamstress to another, whenever she saw her. We will all miss her terribly.
Enchanted Cottage was purchased for the family of Jacqueline L. Sabatino.
I met two of the nicest loving people in this world that were united in love forever. Marvin loved our AMVETS family, and we also loved Jackie when she attended our meetings. I was extremely excited that we could get Marvin his “Legion of Merit” with her support also. I will always cherish our special friendships but know that we’ll meet in heaven!
