To the Editor:
We would like to thank Reston Interfaith for giving
Stonegate Community such an amazing coordinator, Mrs. Jackie Phan. Our community really appreciates what Mrs. Jackie does for us and she has really made an impact on
our lives. Many of the children at Stonegate were infants when Mrs. Jackie started and she has been a part of their lives till now. Mrs. Jackie’s fun and creative activities bring our families together. We are very sad to know that
she is leaving us. She seems to always have the right answer and we hope her replacement is someone who loves the community as much as she does. It will be so different not
seeing her blue jeep, smiling face, positive energy and respectful ways at Stonegate.
The community has been happy to have known her. Mrs. Jackie’s wisdom, caring, hard work and passion for our community has helped us grow. She always said that every experience teaches a life lesson and we hope we have been a positive part of a life lesson for Mrs. Jackie. We are all sad that she is leaving but wherever her destiny takes her we know she will be successful. The Stonegate Community would like to let Mrs. Jackie know that we love her and we will miss her. She will always be remembered in our hearts.
