She was a well known and very loved lady, by not only her beloved Ivor, but also by so many of us in Blogville. She blogged for 20 years! Imagine that!
Jackie also had a travel blog, All At Sea With Me , where she posted pictures taken on the cruises her and Ivor went on, and also from their travels around the UK, where she lived.
She was always quick to comment on your blog posts, and left sweet and kind comments.Even after her two beloved cats, Eric and Flynn had gone to the Rainbow Bridge, she continued to post flashback posts, including doing art with them and making puzzles for those who liked doing them.
Several years ago, Jackie began a long battle with cancer, that evil plague that affects us all, even if we ourselves are not stricken. She had been doing well for the most part, after a return of this disease, but sadly the cancer finally took its toll, and now she is cancer free, and at peace.
Jackie will be sorely missed, her absence is already being felt...
Here is a memento to honor her...

What a beautiful memento♥ We never got to know her but our hearts ache for her friends and family who did.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful badge. I'm sorry I didn't know her longer or sooner. She was certainly very sweet to me during the few years that I've had my blog. I'm going to miss hers and I'm going to miss reading her comments on all the ones she wrote.
ReplyDeleteRIP Jackie. So sad to hear of this. She had been so supportive when I broke my ankle at Christmas. She will be missed :-(
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tribute to Jackie. We didn't know her but can tell she was much loved.
ReplyDeleteI loved Jackie so very much. She was a dear friend for many years. You couldn't find a nicer blogging buddy. She will be missed.

Beautiful tribute to dear Jackie. XO
ReplyDeleteOh, we wish we had known this amazing woman a little bit better. We loved the kitties and her blog but did not know the extent of her sweet influence in the blogging world. Merci for your information and lovely memorial.
ReplyDeleteA lovely tribute to a beautiful soul.
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "We didn't know Jackie but we can see she had many, many friends around the blog world."
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "We're always sad when any furry friend or animal lover has to go to the Rainbow Bridge, but what a reception she must have gotten there!"
Lulu: "We dogs send lots of tail wags to her family."
Oona: "And Oona and the other cats send lots of purrs!"
I didn't know Jackie very well, but she was one of gthe kindest, most inspiring people I've ever met in Blogville. She will be sorely missed. I'm sure Eric & Flynn greeted her with swishing tails and loads of purrs. Gentle thoughts to her family and all who knew her. She will be sorely missed. 💔
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thank you for creating such a lovely remembrance of a remarkable human.
My heart hurts for all of us who knew and loved her.
