As you said, in the short amount of time that she was in my life, she changed it dramatically. I love her. I miss her. I can't imagine how your heart must ache. Mine does and I knew her only a minute. <BR/><BR/>Her laugh. It was so contagious. Her smile. The same. Her hugs.... some of the very best in the world. Her faith. The strongest I have seen in a long time. <BR/><BR/>I am here. Call me.

I call it her program because when I was department at South, she came to me and convinced me that we needed a Life Skills program. I don't think that I'm wrong in saying that South wouldn't have such a model program now if it hadn't been for Jacquie. I taught for a few years in a Native American community. The Winnebago's believe that when someone passes on that they meet up with the Great Spirit and intervene for those who are left on earth. Well, I can't think of anyone better to intervene for me than Jacquie! Keep up the good work, I know that she's smiling down on all of us.<BR/>LynneLynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14765382326545363052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-3058274135400774802007-11-28T09:20:00.000-06:002007-11-28T09:20:00.000-06:00Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss.Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812707312289852258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-44153410768527814572007-11-28T09:07:00.000-06:002007-11-28T09:07:00.000-06:00Oh, I'm so sorry.
