"When the enemy death strikes your grief can be great. It's never the right time to say goodbye to a loved one. Death too to many seems to be a part of life. It's during times such as these that we can find comfort in the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9, 10 ~ "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth". Only God's (Psalms 83:18) Kingdom can bring peace, happiness, perfect health, and everlasting life. "
In loving memory of

Tributes
"Dear Sally, Clay and Ann, I remember your mom well from my childhood days and remember all the fun we had at the pool parties. Your mom was so kind to all the kids in the neighborhood. I am thinking about you all today and sending love and prayers your way. There is another angel in heaven to watch over you all. Sincerely, Lisa Dreyer"
"Mom, I love you to the moon and back and I'm going to really miss you everyday. It comforts me to know you will be watching out for me from above and that you are there with Dad and all our pets. "
"The most wonderful grandmother a girl could ever have. I will miss her warm hugs and sweet smile but knowing she is my angel now brings me so much peace of mind. Love you forever Grandma."
"Every "kid" in Rio Vista knew and loved Jackie. She always provided loving hugs, positive words, fun and games, heat relief pool parties, and the role of your "second" mom whenever needed. Her kindness and concern was ever-present behind those sparkling eyes and radiant smile. Jackie was devoted to her family and raised three wonderful children. She also played a role in bringing up many kids in the neighborhood. I will always cherish my memories with the Wieland Family and hold tight to the life's lessons and character building Jackie tried to impress upon all of us. She was my favorite "fireball." You will remain in my thoughts and prayers Clay, Sally, Ann, Pete, and Rose Family. "
"Please accept my sincere condolances. Losing a love one in death is something we can never mentally or emotionally prepare for. Gods word provides much comfort during this very difficult time. May you draw comfort from the promise found at Isaiah 25:8 which says, "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. "
"MOM, I miss you already..... you definitely were the wind beneath my wings!!!! Until we meet again................ Love, your red-headed, brown eyed daughter xoxoxo"
"Seeing that huge smile on this tiny little dynamo made me immediately hear her sweet southern voice from so many years ago. Her house was always so much fun to visit after school when i was in the first, second and third grades. Always the best snack Mom and always fun at Halloween. She just exuded love and happiness and hugs to all who crossed her path. Clay and family- I wish you all peace as you treasure your memories. "
"Jackie, rest in peace you beautiful woman. Enjoy my special tomato soup waiting just for you."
"My memories of middle school and high school are filled with Ms. Wieland - spending nights at the house with Ann - her mom always so kind and loving to me - to all of Ann's friends. I loved being in their home - it was a little zoo (pets and people) :); she always made me feel loved and welcomed. I loved how the whole family lived close by - Sally, Peter and Ann, Clay - always seemed to me like that is how it should be! I will always be grateful for having known Ms. Wieland - she was an angel on earth and now an angel in heaven! "
"We are so blessed to have known Jackie all these years. She was truly a delight - the sweetest, dearest lady we have ever known. She was always so full of happiness. Just talking with her lit up the day. She was so proud of her family - a wonderful, amazing family, many of whom, we have gotten to know. We will love and miss Jackie forever. All our Love, Christine and John McBryan"
"Jackie, the world was a better place because you were in it. I will value the memories of you being a part of my life from the time I was a toddler up until the morning you left this earth. You made such a difference in the lives of others and especially in mine. When I think of you I will picture your radiant smile, sparkling eyes, good advice, and especially feel the love you shared. I miss and love you very much."
"Mom, you gave me life and love, you gave me hope and trust, you gave me strength and knowledge, you were always there for me in times of need and comfort. May you rest in peace, until we meet again. Your son, Clay"
