A month after finishing her 4th Yervoy treatment, Jackie went home to be with Jesus on Sunday, May 27, 2012. She had suffered with various health issues all her life, and most recently has been battling melanoma for the last year or so. More or less her body gave up due to the ravages of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, LAM, islet cell cancer, and melanoma. She was 57. We renewed our wedding vows on Saturday, May 26, 2012, just 17 days short of our 20th wedding anniversary. I have lost my wife, my best friend, and the person for whom I was her caregiver and advocate.

We renewed our wedding vows on Saturday, May 26, 2012, just 17 days short of our 20th wedding anniversary. I have lost my wife, my best friend, and the person for whom I was her caregiver and advocate. She is no longer suffering, no more pain, no more tears, and no more diseases. She was ready to go when she received the stage 4 diagnosis, yet waged yet another valiant battle with another insiduous disease. Jackie is my hero and has inspired many people with her courage to battle seeminly insurmountable odds. Jesus called her home, and now she is walking on streets of gold in heaven, singing with the heavenly choir.
