She enriched my life and many others with her hearty laugh, love of life and such a deep abiding intelligence and insight. I met Jacquie just as she was entering into the "writing" phase of her life and perhaps, I served as a supporter and instigator for what may have followed. She will always be a very special person to me and her work and kind deeds will live on forever in my heart. I will forever be honored to have been referred to as her own muse for her first work. I would, perhaps, beg to differ with her label as, unbeknownst to her, she had, deep with her, enough muse(s) to serve a lifetime of great works. She has my deep and abiding respect in this life and beyond, always, DWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693278311831499317.post-75300924451532992192016-12-10T08:20:08.863-08:002016-12-10T08:20:08.863-08:00Thank you so much for sharing this William.

Will never forget how she in an amusing way wrote about how she could see marks from her bra on her back despite being really slim. Had never heard about that before and suddenly noticed that the same applies to me.

Perhaps this gave her the courage to be so upbeat when she knew what lay ahead. I did not know her well - only through her blogs which were always real. May she rest on peace.
