Dear Janice and Max, it’s been many years, but when I found out about Jaclyn’s passing from Jack Wiaz, I felt the need to convey my sincere condolences to you. I cannot truly feel your grief, but I do want you to know that I share in your sadness. I remember you as both wonderful people, and I am sure that you are wonderful parents. From what I heard about Jaclyn, you were fortunate to have had her as a daughter all these years and I know that she was fortunate to have been raised by you to adulthood. May her memory always be for a blessing and may you be comforted among the mourners of Tzion and Yerushalayim.

Max , Janice, Dan and Family–I just learned of Jacklyn’s passing and I am sorry I did not know sooner. I worked with Max at West Sub for many years and just saw him in April and he told me Jacklyn was ill. Jacklyn was in the same day theatre day camp with my daughter in Northbrook and my daughter remembers her. I do not have words to comfort you except to say that you are in my thoughts and prayers every moment of the day. May God comfort you. May your memories take over. May Jacklyn rest in peace and may eternal light shine upon her.

To the Harris family- I am heartbroken over the loss of Jaclyn. She was such a dear friend. One of my oldest friends. We shared so many memories over the last 30 years. Although we lived in different states for the last 8 years, we always kept in touch. She will forever be missed. Sending my love, thoughts, and prayers to your family.

Jaclyn’s memory and light will always shine bright. If you knew her, you’d smile. She was one of the “sisters” and life will never be the same with her absence. She was adorable, funny, loyal and I’m so glad that I got to know her, through my daughter. RIP dear girl. I’ve known your mom and dad since 3rd grade. You were the light of their lives. Your personality and humor will always live on.

I have so many great memories of Jaclyn during our time together at Glenbrook South High School – performing arts events, and just good times with friends, having fun, being silly. What a fortune to have her in my close circle and then more recently reuniting to celebrate the joyous occasions of special friends’ weddings. Jaclyn you will be missed by so many.

I met Jaclyn through our mutual friend Jamie years ago at a fundraising event at Slugger’s in the city. Needless to say, we all had a blast that night! Not too long after that Jaclyn and I worked at the same high school for a little bit. We became closer friends; I am so honored and grateful to have met Jaclyn. I’ll think of her every time I hear a Jason Mraz song. I will miss her smile and contagious laugh along with so many other things. I will cherish our rambunctious girls’ nights that usually involved wine and sushi, sharing crazy work stories, playing indoor soccer together, celebrating huge milestones like engagements, marriages and growing our families. Jaclyn will be watching over all of her loved ones, especially her 3 guys and will live within the hearts of many.
Sending our prayers, our love and our heartfelt condolences to both the Harris and Wolfson families.
May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. -Irish Blessing

Jacyln was the first person I met at the JCC pre-school as the security officer at Am Shalom. She was the first person to introduce herself to me. She was always offering to bring me coffee or a snack as I stood outside especially in inclement weather. She was a caring and loving mother who always thought of others. I will miss her smile and warm heart and wish the best for her family. I will pray for her at my church for a beautiful soul taken too soon. God Bless You and the family.

Jackie was a sweet and happy girl. She sometimes called her father at the office, we could hear the conversation. She loved her dad and Dr.Harris loved her very much. You could see the love in his face and hear it in his voice whenever he spoke to her.
Her father was always happy with any of her accomplishments. Jackie was so loved by her parents and family, she is now at peace. Amen.

Mine and Jaclyn’s lives intertwined so much over the years. From Kidstage and Hebrew school, to Agawak and eventually graduate school. Jaclyn was always fun, funny, and a joy to be around. I can hear her laugh. She was such a kind and good person, and the world will never be the same. May she rest in peace. I am thinking of the Harris and Wolfson families, and all the lives she touched. Friends, family, and clients. We are all fortunate to have known her.
