Condolences
The family of Jacquelyn Carol Rahn Feind has received the following condolences.
We wish to express our deepest sympathy to the family of Jackie. She no longer needs to suffer. May all the happy times carry you through this time of loss. Pat &Jim Heydon
Just heard of Jackie's passing, my deepest sympathy to all of her family. Jackie's Mother and my Mother were best friends since I can remember and she was very dear to Mom. May it be a comfort to know that she is no longer in pain and with those she loved.
We will keep Jackies family in our prayer during this difficult time. Jackie was a one of my favorite people to work with. Always had a smile and good things to say about others.
I send my sympathy to Paul, Cindy and family. My husband, Jerry, and I were friends with Paul and Jackie in the 60's. We moved from Rochester after we married, but re-acquainted with them in 2012 while Jerry was taking treatments and we were staying at Hope Lodge. It was shortly after that when Jackie got her diagnosis. She fought hard but we don't have control of what is our fate. May you all be comforted by friends and family at this hard time.
Love, Liz
Bill, Cindy, Paul, Christine and Steph--

My heartfelt sympathy to you on the loss of your mother Cindy. Losing a mother is always difficult but cherish all the memories you made through the years and know she will always be with you in spirit.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Paul, Cindy and to all of my cousins,
I am so sorry for your loss, there just are no words of comfort to make things better. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I am so glad that I got to see Jackie this past June. We had a wonderful visit and were able to catch up on old times we both laughed and cried. I will cherish these memories and ones of the past forever. Jackie fought the good fight and was very brave in doing so and so were you Paul. Sometimes the caregiver is left in the shadows through it all. Jackie was very fortunate to have had you in her life all these years. She talked to me about you and loved you very much.
Love your cousin,
Connie Amundson
Paul, Cindy and family, and to all Brothers and Sisters of Jackie
I pray for peace to all of you. Jackie is in a better place now but will be missed greatly.
