Please know that Jackie is tucked deep in our hearts. My brother Rush and I, children of the Drs. Brown spent many hours with Jackie at the New Canaan Medical Group. Years ago our parents would just drop us at the office while they were off seeing patients elsewhere. That we must have interrupted Jackie's day, no matter it seemed. She and Toni would clear a desk for us to do our homework. They showed us how to peer into the microscope to examine blood slides, taught us how to take our temperatures and use a stethoscope to hear our little beating hearts. We got to file charts with them, and even finish off the cupcakes or other goodies left on the lab counter. Jackie and Toni always made those hours into wonderful adventures.
And now Jackie is there in the great mystery beyond. For sure she's been warmly welcomed by Charlotte and David. They're enjoying their own stories of those early days when together they grew the medical practice, from scratch. Dad's probably recited an old "office Christmas poem," to everyone's delight.
Rush and I send Jackie's family our deepest condolences and loving regards.
