       Yes Chuck it is very sad indeed.  She is a very dear and sweet woman.  Never saw her without a smile on her face.
i hope she gets better......

I will never forget when I first reached 1,000 posts on the Dave Cullen Forum, and I started a thread about what my special name should be.  I received a number of joking replies, all of which made me laugh.

And then Jackie posted, and said I should be called "Faithful Friend", because that was the one description that she felt fit me the most.  I was so touched, I called to thank her, and it became my "tag" there, and it will never change.

When the Texas BBQ took place in '06, my direct flight from NJ to Tx had ended up becoming 2 layovers, and many missed flights due to a security scare.  What was supposed to be a flight landing at noon on Thursday, beccame an 18 hour ordeal that ended just after midnight, so technically Friday AM.

I got off that plane, and bleary-eyed, tried to locate my bags.  When I found them, there was a touch on my shoulder from behind, and I heard "Hello Faithful Friend".   It was Jackie, she had come to the airport to meet me, and she gave my weary body a big hug.

I've since had the good fortune to see Jackie many times over the next two years, twice at her apartment, once in Ocean City, once in Bay City, once in NYC, and once in Colorado.  Every time she saw me, I was greeted the same way, with a big hug and a "Faithful Friend".

When I went through hard times, she would call me to check up on me, and always made time to take my calls when I needed to talk.

Jackie, I'm sending all my prayers and love, and if I could, my strength as well.

She's just a few hours drive from me
she lives on the same coast
a woman that we all hold dear
and who would frequently post
to the forum where she made friends
where she'd spend parts of her day
and little did she know
she touched our hearts along the way
with the way she shared her feelings
and the way she talked to us
free with her time and her emotions
and she never raised a fuss
I'm sure that Jackie knows
that we're praying for her now
and we'd take this pain from her
if we truly just knew how
so let's hold on to each other
while we pray to God above
focus now on Jackie
and we'll send her all our love




we love you, Jackie!

I'm glad to see the news made it over here (I don't frequent that thread).

It's very sad news, and I gather awfully unexpected. I was so sorry to hear about it when I found the post over at DCF.

Hiya BetterMost friends

Shasta, Susie, Katie, Gary, Jack, Dev, Rob, Crooner, BigBro Tru, BigBro Rich, Jeff, Jan, Steve, Paul, Wulfie, and everyone else!

I am just dropping a quick note to say that my attendance here will be a little spotty right now.  In time, I'll be back to where I was.

I intend to still come here daily and update my blog, and try to stay in touch as much as possible.

This is NOT goodbye.


but right now, my attention must be on the Dave Cullen Forum.  I am the mod of the Heath threads, and this blow came to us all as we were just learning about our friend Jackie's failing health.

I'm working as hard as I can to help people deal with this, and maintain my own sanity as well.

I promise I will be back, just as busy and blabbermouthed as before, but right now, my attention is divided in too many directions.

I wish you all peace and love, and I hope you all find strength at this time of great sadness for all Brokies.

I may not be here as frequently, but you will all be on my mind, and in my heart.

I love you.

You do what you have to Lil Bro!
You know we love you and will be here.
I love you!

Chuck, both you and Jackie are in my thoughts.  Love ya buddy.
