Vale Jacqueline Willis - updated
It is with a sad heart that I receive the news today of the passing of Jacqui. Jacqui brought a new kind of life to the Reception of WorkSafe and anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting, talking, sharing with Jacqui would have to agree, we have lost a special person this past weekend.
Jacqui suffered a lot, but her suffering was not so obvious, what was obvious was her wit, her heart, her love of people and people she cared for. While our hearts grieve - our minds must know that there is no more suffering, there is no more pain and the wisdom and words that Jacqui shared will always be a part of those in her life.
I won't cry, I won't be too sad, I will stop, reflect and laugh. I will remember the comments as I would pass by reception, the endless witticisms and criticisms, the genuine laughter and caring. If I shed a tear, it will be coated in fond memories. It will be a tribute.
We will miss you Jacqui. I will certainly miss you. Vale Jacqueline Willis.
