Jacqueline "Jackie" Fae (Shahan) Gaetti

Message from Charles and Lois (Johnson) Polstra - Lakeland, FL

My husband and I had a wonderful visit with your parents in their home in Sept., 2016 while we were back in Centralia on vacation. Jackie and I have remained life long friends since we were classmates through our elementary school years at Oak Grove School with Donna Cameron Drenckpohl (the only three in our grade) and all four years at CTHS. Serving the Lord Jesus has always been the goal throughout our lives. Her life and witness were powerful to all she met. We know this has been very difficult losing both of your parents in a few months this year. May God
give you the strength to sustain you through this time. We send our love to both
of you, Cheryl and Gary and all your family.

Message from Cheryl

Thank you very much for sending a beautiful message... 2017 was Not a good year for us... March 2017 was when things started to crumble.. It has been a roller coaster for all these months, and much sadness with losing both our parents not even 4 months apart... We miss them terribly but we are very thankful that we had them for 63 1/2 years! They were the BEST... hugs to you..

Message from Mark and Jerri Ann Miller

Cheryl and Gary,

We just saw that Jackie passed away. We are so sorry to hear this. She was a dear, sweet person and a very good friend. She will be missed by all.
We also saw where your dad recently passed too. Sorry to see that as well.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you remember us...it's been a long time. Thinking of you.....

Message from Cheryl

Thank you Mark and Jeri for the kind words... It's been a rough year for us... We thought we were gonna lose our Mom back in March 2017, but she kept fighting. It was such a tough battle, that our Dad had trouble coping.. We were so upset to lose him in Aug. 2017... Then having to put our Mother in a nursing home wasn't easy... And she really began to decline... It was heartbreaking to watch, so we are now thankful that they are Both back together... We miss them terribly... Hugs to you Both...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Gary and Cheryl and your families. I'm sure it is difficult to lose both parents so close together but I'm sure they are happy once again together. Mom loved to sit and visit with your Mom and often talked on phone! I'm sorry she could not be at services but she is only home now with 24hour care. May God wrap his arms around you and give you comfort and peace.

Message from Cheryl

Thank you so very much for the thoughtful words about our Mom... She was the BEST... My heart is broken and will take quite some time to get better... It's been a very hard year for us... Praying that 2018 will be better...

I enjoyed working with Jackie at Centralia Cartage and Associated Truck Lines for the many years we both worked there. She was a very pleasant and intelligent person to work with. May she rest in peace. Sympathy to her family. Due to commitments, unfortunately, we will not be able to be with you to celebrate her life but know we have only fond memories of your folks.

Jackie & I grew up together in the country east of Centralia. We were high school classmates and worked together at Centralia Cartage for many years. She was 4 days older than me & we often shared a birthday lunch. My sympathy to Cheryl and Gary and their families for their loss. God's blessings to you all.
