Leaving her daughter, Annie, would have been the hardest thing for Jackie. She was obviously a pragmatic woman and set herself up in Hamilton(country Victoria) where her sister lived. Annie got into a good private Catholic school up there so Jackie left knowing she is getting a good education and that her sister is around to care for Annie.
So sad.

In regards to StephN comment that her brain mets were bad, i worry that we here in Australia do not have ready access to cyder/gamma knife like you USA women seem to. Jackie would have know all these things and still had WBR.
