Hi Jacquie, I have been reading the updates on your blog here and I am pleased to read and see that you are doing well and hanging in there. I don’t know if you know much about the Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo, but she was plagued with a challenging life due to numerous medical issues. There is a great movie out entitled “Frida” where Salma Hayek plays her – I highly recommend it. Frida once said: “At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.” Keep doing what you are doing! : ) Take care and still sending you warm wishes and prayers.
To my sister and best friend,It is so good to hear that you are kicking this thing in the ass! I think about you every second of the day and I only wish that I could be there for you now, like you were there for me so many times. Everyone is supporting you one million percent. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t get a thousand questions about you…which only proves the undying love that so many people have for you! I cannot wait until you recover so that we can continue our lives together as best friends. I love you sooo much and have 100% faith in you. Continue to fight. Do not give up! You are a fighter…you are a winner…you are an achiever! Jacqueline, I love you. Never forget that! You are my best friend and always will be. *~* we believe *~*<33333 justine
Dear Jacquie, You have been in our thoughts and prayers each and every day. You are the strongest person we know. Someday soon, you will be able to teach a classroom full of children what true bravery is and how important it is never to give up. You are a living example of this. We are extremely proud of you. We should all learn from your example. Carol, Barry, Courtney, and Max
Good Morning Jacquie: It is so hard to feel sick everyday, but tomorrow is a new day. I will light a candle for you today and pray that each day forward you will feel better. You are an inspiration to all.
Jacquie, My whole family thinks of you and prays for you each day. Down the road you will think of this experience as a test of your faith and a challenge that you successfully met head on and won.

hey jax! glad to hear the transplant went well! i continue to pray for you every single day<3 today i was cleaning my room, and stumbled upon a very small spiral notebook. i opened it up to see what it was and i found the words "tips from jax" written on the first page. these were the follow tips: 1. dont date frat boys 2. dont trust the gps system or peter 3. dont want married men i’m not sure if you remember it, but when we were in phoenix, the running joke between you, steph and i was tips from you about things we shouldnt do. i’ve kept a diary for a long time, and i searched to see if i could find if i wrote anything about phoenix- i found the most ridiculously hilarious stories about you and all the funny things you said while we were there. it made me so happy to find the list, and it made me think of you even more then i already do on a normal basis miss you darling, and hopefully we can travel to another nice warm sunny place soon 🙂 love you, megan

Please know that we continue praying for your speedy recovery. We, too, believe – just as you, your family and friends do! May God Bless You and Your Family Always – Kathy Cavagnaro & Family

hey jax! glad to hear the transplant went well! i continue to pray for you every single day<3 today i was cleaning my room, and stumbled upon a very small spiral notebook. i opened it up to see what it was and i found the words "tips from jax" written on the first page. these were the follow tips: 1. dont date frat boys 2. dont trust the gps system or peter 3. dont want married men i’m not sure if you remember it, but when we were in phoenix, the running joke between you, steph and i was tips from you about things we shouldnt do. i’ve kept a diary for a long time, and i searched to see if i could find if i wrote anything about phoenix- i found the most ridiculously hilarious stories about you and all the funny things you said while we were there. it made me so happy to find the list, and it made me think of you even more then i already do on a normal basis miss you darling, and hopefully we can travel to another nice warm sunny place soon 🙂 love you, megan

Jacquie – I’ve followed your illness from the beginning through your brother. (My daughter, Michelle is on the North Swim Team, and my younger daughter, Amy, is in remission from ALL, also an honored patient for TNT). We saw you at the Team In Training Kick Off Dinner a few weeks ago and wanted to wish you well with your transplant but you left before we could say hello. I have been following your progress and am so very happy things are going well for you so far and will continue to go well with your positive attitude and wonderful family support. Please know that we continue praying for your speedy recovery. We, too, believe – just as you, your family and friends do! May God Bless You and Your Family Always – Kathy Cavagnaro & Family

A difficult and unfair truth of life, is some of us seem to have it easier than others. Life, however, never seems to give us something we can’t handle… Because my sister loves you, I love you too. Keep fighting.Love,Andrea (Alicia’s older sister)

to my beautiful, courageous, inspiring sister & best friend: you are doing INCREDIBLE!!!! each day i check your website at least 5-10x looking for a new update, ask beege right when i wake up i run to the computer & go “I WONDER IF THERE’S A NEW UPDATE ABOUT JAC!” we’re all so lucky TJ was wonderful enough to get this website up & running so everyone can still feel so connected to you & your progress. Anyway I just wanted to give you my daily dose of telling you how much I love you & miss you & how proud I am of you. p.s. Webster’s (dictionary) definition of a fighter: “a person with the will, courage, determination, ability, or disposition to fight, struggle, resist, etc.” aka JACQUELINE HIRSCH!! i love you KEEP FIGHTINGWE BELIEVE<3 alicia
