I think it's very sad and and painful for this family and my prayers go out to all of you. Posting personal issues must make things that much harder to deal with. I don't think anyone was trying to display anything other than best wishes and to give her a sweet goodbye, .......the best way they know how to! Rest in peace sweet lady.

My prayers are with this family! I keep hoping to hear that at least the police have a clue regarding a suspect! I don't know why this particular person is weighing so heavily on my heart, but she is!

Continuously in prayer!

My name is Michele and I am a long time family friend and I am supporting this family in every way I possibly can and I find it extremely offensive that you Jane B and Mary Quezada have disrespected this family by posting the comments that you have posted. I responded to these posts about a week ago but there was an error in my posting. I would appreciate it if you would respect the family and only send your best wishes and prayers. The comments that are posted are taken as if you are either trying to gain publicity from this tragedy or you want to "know someone of importance." If you have any true and valid information regarding this case, unlike the "40 oz can of something in a paper bag" please report it to the police. For someone not to know this cherished and loved family member and friend you have a whole lot of nothing to say but was paying a whole lot of attention to this particular individual.(Which may not even be the same one) But you can share information such as seeing through a paper bag from afar. Please keep this family and friends in your prayers and may the Lord guide and bless those that read this subscription.

So sorry that the family has to experience death, once again...This is very tragic...Iv'e been knowing Jackie for half of my life...She has always been kind to me...She will be greatly missed...Love, Lynette, Big Ray Cousin...

She was my good friend's younger sister, my love and prayers go to her family.

I swear I saw this lady as recently as last week when I'd get off on the Imperial Highway exit and drive towards my job at the college. If it was her, she always had a colorful pair of boots on-the most recent was a red pair. She appeared kind of down and out, she had (and no offense to anyone if this wasn't her) a 40 ounce can of something in a paper bag and a rather sad expression most of the time. But she was a great dresser and obviously did not deserve what happened to her.
If it is the woman I recognize, or isn't, either way, rest in peace, dear lady.
