Last Sunday I heard about the passing of an amazing writer, a wonderful friend and an incomparable human being: Jacqueline Gum, author of “Confessions of a Corporate Slut”.
I’m still at a loss for words. I’m shocked. Jacquie has been there for me. She encouraged me, supported me, helped me through hard times and I have never met her personally once. Still, I “knew her” for years and considered her my friend.
I tried to spread the word about her loss. But it took me two days to finally understand that she is no more.
My thoughts are with her and her family! She will be sorely missed!!

I lost a friend today too. She wasn’t an author but she did a great deal for literacy and the museum society and the library league in our small town. She had been “hanging on” for a long time, micromanaging her many contributions and offices from a nursing home. She is not only a loss to me but to our small town.

I didn’t know Jacquie but I read her final message and she sounds like an amazing woman.. I use the present tense because she clearly made a huge impression on the lives of those she met.. That in itself is ongoing and a wonderful legacy. x

Thank you so much for reading and for leaving your amazing and wonderful comment to Jacquie’s post. You are right. I never met her personally either. And still, she was my friend. Some people have this impact on others. Thank you!
