It's been a difficult few weeks for Jackie as she mourns her husband and sister. Earlier this month, she honored David on his birthday, when he would have turned 90.
'Happy Birthday David 🤴!' she captioned the video montage of sweet throwback photos. 'My first, my last, my everything…❤️👸💋'
Jackie first shared the news of David's death on April 5, in a post on Instagram.
"I was lucky enough to share twenty-five wonderful years with David, and together we raised eight incredible children. His life and legacy live on through them all," Jackie, 59, wrote in the post's caption of the timeshare resort company founder.
"To say we are devastated is an understatement. But I find comfort in knowing that Victoria was there to greet him—the first thing he heard was 'Dad,' followed by a big hug," she wrote, referring to her and David's late daughter, who died of an accidental drug overdose when she was only 18 in 2015. "And of course, Steven is there too. That thought brings me so much peace."
She also acknowledged the death of her sister, which occurred three days after David's death.
'Losing David and Jess in the same week is something I never could have imagined, but we're a strong family and we're supporting each other right now.' Jackie wrote at the time.
Jessica died of an accidental drug overdose, which Jackie acknowledged she was all too familiar with.
"Jessica died after using cocaine laced with fentanyl. Her death is another stark reminder of the drug epidemic and fentanyl crisis plaguing our country – and the urgent need to address substance abuse in order to save lives," she continued. "Our work at Victoria's Voice remains more critical than ever, and in her memory, we will continue to raise awareness and advocate every single day until this form of grief is a distant memory in this country."
