Steve Burton (ex-Jason): “Well, hate to even be posting about this. 💔Another reminder of how precious life is and to hug the ones you love and stay present.  Jackie Z. What an awesome lady. So sweet. She was one of the veterans that when I came on, welcomed me with open arms. For that I’ll always be grateful..I never saw her in a bad mood despite life’s challenges. Her energy was incredible. She always asked how I was and what was happening in my life. Always made time. We had Malibu in common.. anytime someone mentioned Malibu I would think of her..she lived out there and I would surf there a lot so we would talk about that… ❤️ thank you Jackie for your example. Legend. So sweet and kind. My prayers are with your family. RIP Jackie Zeman 🙏🏻🕊️❤️”

Laura Wright (Carly): “I’m struggling to wrap my head around this – I’m so grateful to have shared so many years with this beautiful woman. Jackie told the best stories-she had an INCREDIBLE spirit and she lived such an amazing life. She loved working on GH -she adored her daughters and lit up when talking about her grandchildren – saying she will be missed is an understatement – thank you Jackie for sharing your heart and soul with all of us. Much love to Cassidy and Lacey ❤️ #nurseBobbie #BobbieCarly #Spencerwomen”
