From her long soft hair to the tips of her toes, Jacqueline was a very beautiful woman. I will forever cherish the time we spent together. When I was with her, I never wanted to leave her. Being very close to her was very special to me. Listening to her amazing life story and many significant achievements, over dinner and drinks, never cease to amaze me, including her incredible determination and ability to raise her very beautiful and very talented daughter whilst homeless and battling many dilapidating illnesses. I honour and praise her!
Ivan JerayShe loved the fine arts and all the world's cultures, especially her Spanish heritage. I loved her Spanish hospitality and her cooking, especially her ancient traditional Spanish and Roman meals. She loved music, dancing and meeting people although she was unhappy the pubs and bars in Katoomba and Leura were not open all night like in Spain. She was very loving, warm and compassionate. She always dressed elegantly and I loved her dearly.
I can never forget her stares, her voice, her funny laughter, her loving smile and her beautiful brown Spanish eyes. Nor will I ever forget kissing her and holding her close to me. I adored her. I cry everyday she is no longer with me but I hope and pray we will be together again some day. You will always be with me. I miss you and love you immensely! Adios, God bless you and rest in peace my beautiful darling Jacqueline xxxx
I went to UWS with Jacqueline and we were in the same degree. She was very funny and always seemed to be smiling. On my down the mountains I would stop at Valley Heights and pick her up in my little car. She was a wonderful artist. God Bless.
Christeen HulI will always think of you fondly as a passionate, creative woman, always ready for a chat and a glass of wine, explaining in "Spanglish" , your values and opinions on life, arts and culture. What an amazing life, certainly never boring, and a what a wonderful legacy you leave in the life of your precious girl. Be proud of yourself dear Jacqueline, and enjoy your peace and freedom in glory! x x x Love to you x x x Deslie
Deslie JamesonYou were one of the most creative and colourful people I've ever known. You brought so much of that into this world and into the people you loved. You inspired them and brought joy into their lives. I hope that where ever you are now you continue to shine. You will be greatly missed by all that knew you but your memory will remain strong and cherished in all of us. Thank you for trusting me to take care of your wonderful daughter and for sharing so much of what you'd learnt about the world, art and people.
Liam JohnsonAs you move on, I hope that you may rest with peace and tranquillity knowing you left the world brighter and better than when you found it.
With love, Liam.
Jaqueline was a contagious fun and beautiful woman! I admired her for her inspiring creativity but my favourite memory of her was her animal whispering. I remember when Paris was very little visiting Jaqueline's home/menagerie with the wild looking wolf dog that had been tamed, a smaller dog, a friendly cockatoo and 2 cats? One was a fluffy toy looking cat with a squished up face that Jaqueline somehow patted and soothed into floppy submission so it would drape like a stole around her neck...
Chrissy Hammondit was soo funny and we were all laughing but in total awe of her ability to communicate with animals in strange and magical ways. :)
I have a feeling that Paris might also be an animal whisperer. Sending lots of love X
Jacqueline did a dream/career/vision board and suggested I be a humanitarian lawyer or politician. I knew that she was right because she always thought BIG, but WOW was that a sea change. Her Artistic mind saw things most people could never dream of. I love her for that. Jacqueline turned the mundane into magic. I bless you on your journey and thank you for sharing some of it with me.
Candice PankhurstDevine intervention brought Jacqueline into my life. At the time I was working for Wendy Home Services and part of my job was to take clients to appointments. Jacqueline had a dental appointment at Penrith and I was her carer and driver. Realizing she had Spanish background and was very apprehensive I tried to ease her nerves by starting a conversation, stating. " My Gt, Gt, Gt grandmother Adelaide de la Theresa was the first Spanish women convict to Australia". Jacqueline got me to pull over to the side of the road and she hugged and kissed me like a lost member of her family. Her mother had begged to be buried at the foot of my Gt, Gt, Gt grandmother's grave. She explained to me, that her mother heard of Adelaide's story, feel in love with her tale and felt drawn to research her history. Jacqueline had notes, documents and a photo of Adelaide and together we form a bond sharing knowledge of her, together. Jacqueline often called me Adelaide, although she knew me as Jennifer. I became Jacqueline's cleaner and friend.
Jennifer Ann Norman ( Adelaide )Jacqueline became like a beautiful butterfly that drifted in and out of our lives as the wind cared to carry her. I was at her wedding to Wade, Saw Paris grow up to the beautiful young lady, she has become. I remember fondly, Jacqueline inviting us to stay at Jenolan Caves with them, for the presentation of an amazing bust she had made for the Asthma Association and see the wonderful painting she had done for Jenolan Caves.
I have been blessed to know my whirlwind friend and will truly miss our paths not crossing. She was like family and when we saw each other time had no hold. With her mother and my Gt, Gt, Gt, Grandmother now. Rest in peace dear friend. I promise to watch over and be there for Paris. We now have an angel looking over us. Much love.
I knew you only through your beautiful daughter Paris, of whom when Pairs spoke of you, it was with so much love. I wish I had the honour of knowing you. As you leave this world, you should be honoured that you have raised a beautiful human being, whom will go so far in life, due to the love and care you gave her.
Joanne BlakeyRest In Peace ❤️❤️
I hope you rest peacefully and I hope heaven is all you could ever wish for. You accepted me for who I was and loved me as family. You inspire me to be a better person and to understand truely what matters and that is your close friends and family. I promise I will always be there for your daughter and love her as I always have as not only my best friend but my sister.
Emily Jane SymonsI love you and will miss you.
