REST IN PEACE, JACKIE LOVE.
Earlier today, I learned of the loss of a friend and community leader, Deptford Township’s former Deputy Mayor, Jackie Love.
Back in March when we held our annual Irish American Leadership Breakfast, we honored Jackie with our “Friend of the Irish” Award. For anyone who was in attendance, you could notice two things: 1) how deserving she was of that award, and 2) how grateful and elated she was to be receiving that award.
I am so glad that we had the chance to bestow that honor upon Jackie because, sadly, it was the last time that I would be able to get to see her and hug her. She left an indelible mark on the audience that day — the kind of indelible mark she left on the people she served and the people who had the pleasure to meet her.
Rest in Peace, Jackie. You will be missed.
