To the Editor;
Upon hearing of the soon to be retirement of the council on aging’s director Jacqueline Seney, I would like to publicly thank her for how she has personally supported me through the past several years. (I realize she’s will still be around for a while, but here goes).
Not only has she been a gem in the Mattapoisett community, there have been instances when I have called upon for help. The most important time was when I was recovering from gastric surgery, I was also having to try to meet the needs of my adopted cat who was also having medical issues at the same time. When it came to a point where I could not lovingly take care of my cat’s needs, I called Jackie to see if she could help me find her a good home. She not only came to my home to pick up my cat, she personally took her to her home. She then proceeded to find a suitable home for her where she would get the best care. Coincidentally, the adopters were two veterinarians. I could not have felt more relieved about the situation.
Jackie would always be wonderful support when I called her for advice on several different matters over the years, I know she is wonderful support for the whole senior community, but I want to thank her publicly. I know she’ll still be around for a while, but when she has left the COA, she will be truly missed by all of the community member so, thanks for everything Jackie.
Stephanie Mitchell, Mattapoisett
