KIWIgirl has earned her wings - so sorry
 

Rolepaul just posted this:

To all,

Jacqui (Kiwigirl) passed on last Tuesday after a tremendous fight. Please send an email to her husband Greg in New Zealand at gregdrag@gmail.com to let him know the support that this site can give and the strength Kiwigirl showed.

This is bad news, as she gave it all she had, and even came to Seattle from New Zealand for vaccine trial.

These brain mets in the younger ladies have been taking such a toll lately (thinking of Courtney and Kiri).

Oh this is so sad. Thanks for letting us know.

I am so sorry to hear this news. She was quite a fighter. I remember when she was planning to come here for cyber knife. I was looking forward to meeting her, but she had a down turn and couldn't come. My sympathies to her family.

I'm so sorry to read this and will send an e mail to her husband, thanks for letting us know Steph:( xx

Oh this is so terribly sad. I am so sorry for her and her little, young family. I always felt for her and her difficulty being in NZ and not always being able to get the treatment she wanted - she tried everything and gave it her all. I was thinking of her yesterday and saw she hadn't lugged on for a couple of weeks...

Oh please, please - we have to find a way to treat brain mets and those with herceptin resistance - the cost for our children and families is too high.

My love and thoughts are with kiwigirl's family at this terribly tragic time. May she rest in
Peace.

God bless you KIWIgirl. You will be so missed but still loved. ma

I will miss her

All I could muster was "darn." I am so sick of this disease stealing lives. Jacqui was beautiful and as Steph said so very young. Hermann Munster used to stomp up and down shaking his green fists saying, "darn, darn, darn, DARN!" That's how I feel.-- a right hissy fit coming on over this one! DAMN.

Re: KIWIgirl has earned her wings - so sorry
 

She was such a fighter, with so much determination to beat those brain mets...this awful disease takes so many lives, way to early, we need a cure so badly so there will be no more Kiwis, or Courtney's, or the many others who have fought valiantly and still lost. My deepest sympathies to the family.

Re: KIWIgirl has earned her wings - so sorry
 

Prevention beats treatment any day. We need to find out what causes this and how to keep it from happening.

I'm so sorry for Jacqui and her family. Such a loss.

Re: KIWIgirl has earned her wings - so sorry
 

This is such sad news. Thank you Steph for sharing her husband e mail.

Such sad news! Young mothers shouldn't die.

Once again we see that even though we are brave, even though we fight for every opportunity to get rid of cancer, we do not have enough knowledge to conquer this darn disease. We can try to minimize the risk factors, do everything "right" and still some of us don't survive. I hate that!

Condolences to her family and others who loved her. I share your grief.

So sad to hear this news that yet another young women has been taken from her family.I still feel very upset about Courtney who also tried everything.I dont know how old Kiwigirl was but she looked so young.Makes me think that the research that bc in under 40's is a different disease holds true
My deepest condolences to her family.

Heartbreaking news - really hate it when young mothers are taken - it just breaks my spirit. Kiwigirl was so positive, fighting so hard...my deepest condolences to her family.

Re: KIWIgirl has earned her wings - so sorry
 

My heart was so heavy to read this about Jacqui. Can anyone tell me about her? How many children did she have and their ages?
I know she is being held in God's loving light, a smile on her face.

I didn't know her but my heart goes out to her and her family. Stupid cancer. It is so sad. Like the others have said, it never gets easier reading about someones fight ending so soon. She is in gods hands now. May she rest in peace.
