Re: Jackie Handley is an angel

I am so sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to her daughter, her friends and her family. It's shocking to me that the treatment did not give her more time. I wonder if she just couldn't tolerate the radiation.
This news is so sad.

Re: Jackie Handley is an angel

Another angel. I'm very saddened to hear about Jackie. Cancer devastates families, and my prayers go out to Jackie's family.

Re: Jackie Handley is an angel

The other day when I found Jackie's obit online, I also found a video on "You Tube" that I believe is Jackie? Since it was mentioned that she was a Kayak coach I have a feeling it must be her. Just thought I'd share it. I still can't believe she's gone...she was such a fighter and I really believed she would beat this. I just can't help but wonder what went wrong? It's such a devastating loss. My prayers continue for her family and especially her daugher. Here's the link to the video I believe is Jackie doing one of the things she loved to do.
