Family_Chat has lost one of the dearest
chatters and family members it has ever had.
Our Jaggie, so full of life and love, passed on the 14th of July, 2008.
We thank you jaggie for being so very special.
We will always remember you with love in our hearts,
and we will all be stronger because of your words.
Holt would like to thank everyone in
family chat for their kind words,
cards, phone calls.. and for caring so much about jaggie and her family.
Two week after I discovered FC, in came a strange nick. What is Jagr, said
I. Her reply - HOCKEY! You must be a Yank!!
Since I did not like Hockey, I immediately started calling her jaggie.
That was 15 years ago and the beginning of what would become the truest
friendship I've ever known. Online, on the phone,
at her house.. we shared everything. We solved the world's problems, we
laughed until we cried, we cried and we spewed.
Only once did she talk sharply to me... at her house when I insisted on
calling her jaggie. "My name is LOU, call me LOU"!
Ok jaggie said I. And she remained my jaggiepookins. She was my rock.
My rock is gone now, but my heart remains full of warmth and memories of
my Canadian sis.
And so, just this once for you jaggie..... I love you LOU.. be at peace
in your travels.
Bets
GoodBye Jaggie
Sitting here thinking about you,
I here you call my name,
James, James, James
As I turn to see who's calling me
I see no one, only hear your voice.
I glance across the room,
To see if anyone else hears it too.
But no one seems to notice the look on my face.
I miss you so much,
I keep telling you,
But you don't seem to hear me.
Still you're calling out my name, only louder,
As the tears rolled down my face,
I glance around the room,
And see you amongst my family, and friends
The look upon your face says you're peaceful now.
I realized it was time to let you go.
Although I will always love and miss you.
I turn my head to see if anyone notices you.
Then I turn back, and you're gone.
I hear you, so very gently say,
"I love you", "Good- Bye!"
"Bye", I said . . .

These are the memories i have of jaggie someone so
true to her heart. Who is such a wonderful person who just was too sweet.
I would tell people she is an obsessed fan of jon bon jovi and she would
respond No i just put up with them for 20 plus years.We would laugh about
the jon bon jovi stuff. Last christmas i found some pictures of jon bon
jovi on the internet and put them on a mug she loved it and couldnt believe
it i would do that for her, she was worth it everything i did for her, i
made her a bracelet from beads, she truely treasured everything i did for
her. We would talk often on the telephone and in family_chat.Lou is a special
soul!! nobody will ever replace her. Her two boys will have my sympathy
and my prayers, so will her grandson who just got to know her for just a
little awhile. The other things i remember about jaggie is once i ordered
chinese food and she yelled at me "RACHIE" now i am hungry she
ordered fast food her food got to her faster than my own food did, I responded
that was fast. She is like yes thats why they call it fast food.We would
laugh with eachother. I love you Jaggie you are my sister my friend ALWAYS
someone that will never be forgotten. your memory will always be there with
me. I for one will never forget jaggie.
You're always IN MY HEART jaggie i love you!!! as a sister and a friend
FOREVER ....you'll NEVER be forgotten ...........
I LOVE YOU Jaggie always!!!
ALWAYS rachel - aka RACHIE
Jaggie, thank you for all our chats, I learnt so
much from your ability to keep smiling through all the pain. You said once:
"when its time to get tough...you get tough that's all" and you
lived by that determination. Many people had no idea about the extent of
the health issues you were going through in real life and that is the way
you wanted it. The chatroom was a haven where you could leave the bad outside
and enjoy precious laughs with your friends. Yes, you had the ability to
be tough, determined and focused when it came to overcoming pain, and somehow
that pain never made you bitter. Somehow you remained gentle, with a generous
spirit despite all that was thrown at you. You were one to always look at
your blessings - and what blessings they were. A beautiful family who literally
made you brim over with pride and who gave you such support and love.
And what a joy it was when your first grandchild came along!
Jaggie, it was an honour to know you and to be counted amongst your friends
as well as
being a member of your 'on-line' family. Until we meet again, God bless.
Adieu
J aggie, so loving, caring and
sweet,
A braver lady you could not meet.
G randmother, so happy in your new found role,
G entle mother, sister and soul.
I won't say goodbye my friend - simply adieu,
E vermore in our thoughts, our beautiful Lou.
Hugs,
JJ
Dear Lou:
You flew into my life
Like a lovely butterfly
As fragile as the tears
Now falling from my eye.
You had a beauty all your own
In spite of sickness and pain,
The lagacy of courage you left
Will encourage me again and again.
When you reached that Heavenly shore
Was your mother waiting there?
I know how much you missed her here,
What a reunion you two will share.
You touched so many lives dear one,
Even though your stay was brief,
Taken from our midst too soon,
Like a jewel stolen by a thief.
You loved me unconditionally,
And it's hard to say goodbye.
But, darlin I know we'll meet again
In that mansion in the sky.
With love from Flo Edmondson (Mrsfoxyg)
To jaggie
with Love
Hey girl. We sure do miss you,I didn't; get to say my last good-by, which
saddens me,but when we spoke.
You never left without saying",I love you lace,, or tell John I miss
him and love him too."
Those words sometimes we take to lightly and I wish I could message you
and ask how you are today, and end with (,I love you too.)
Knowing all your pain,I know that smile your son saw on your face.
Told us all how you was ready to soar High. High to unknown places where
mansions awaited for you.
Ken folk long gone. What a reunion that has to be. But even thou your at
peace.
We , who are left behind, miss your sweet spirit, your beautiful way
of cheering others on in their delimas and trails.
Well heck Jaggie, drop in when ever you can and make us laugh again.
We will know your their, Faith/ feelings/ call it what ever we are given.
We will know, you are their yanking our chain:)
Big Hugs Hun. Mama lace loves you with all her heart,
OH and P/S would you make sure my house is clean when I'm ready:) .
And you be waiting with that coffee pot on..... I'll bring the doughnuts!!!!
sadness is short, eternal life is

She has truly seen the face of Christ
she has heard his real voice he has HUGGED her
he has reassured her she is healed now,

Your silly friend.

Dear Jaggie:
I weep in selfish sorrow over the loss of your vibrant personality but I
rejoice that you are now in painless peace.
I am left with delightful memories of your chats and hugssssss and friendship,
and I remember vividly, your grace and fortitude in the face of adversity,
an example of courage I shall never forget. I love you, Jaggie.

When I think of my friend Jaggie one word comes to mind is "Humility" ... which goes as this:
Humility or humbleness is a quality of being courteously respectful of others. It is the opposite of aggressiveness, arrogance, boastfulness, and vanity. Rather than, "Me first," humility allows us to say, "No, you first, my friend." Humility is the quality that lets us go more than halfway to meet the needs and demands of friends, family or others.
She had so much to be angry about but you never felt it or heard that in her voice.. just a giving person who loved every day no matter what it handed her. She taught me the true meaning of that word "humility" in my own struggles and it is a lesson I will never forget. She was a remarkable person in her own right and one I will hold her dear for the rest of my life. Thanks Lou. Thanks for sharing and caring and lessons learned... Shine on Girl! :))
Love, MsDaisy (Jude)

You were a good friend Jaggie and that is hard to
find, and then to lose it :(
I will remember you always with lots of affection.
I feel privileged to have been able to call you my friend.
Rest in peace, and god bless
Suzie :(
Jaggie my friend how i'm going to miss you
You where there when i phoned and tried to sing songs
in the wrong key , even sometimes with the wrong words.
We laughed out loud which i hoped made you feel better at that time because
it sure brightened my evening.
I know now you are in a better place looking down on me shaking your head
and telling your family that you have re-met.
Thats our Arfer down there and he is still out of tune.
You will always be loved by me for taking the care to listen
Another brighter than bright star now graces the night sky and when i look
up
i'll think that star twinkling more than any other is Jaggies (lou) star
God Bless
Arfer
Oh my dear Lou !!
You, my sweet lady will be so dearly missed. We never
met face to face but I say with much pride and sincerity, “You are
my friend”.
In the early days of chatting I wasn’t
sure how to take this quiet Canadian and your love for hockey but found
out over time we shared much in common especially our love for family and
home. We shared stories of all our boys and recipes. The many hours of chatting
on line, the conversations on the phone and neither of us hesitated to pick
up the phone and call when we thought the other needed someone to bend an
ear. Neither of us hesitated to candidly tell the other how we felt or what
we were thinking.
We shared the excitement when you bought your
home and we shared the tears when I lost mine.
My only regret in our friendship will be that
we never got to meet face to face but make no mistake,
I will also treasure you as someone I can truly call “my friend”.
May you rest in peace.

I only recently heard of the sad passing of Jaggie.
We had talked on the phone a few times and when she
heard my son lived in Montreal, she couldn’t wait to make it
over to his door. She emailed that she had met him and he was doing fine
– that meant a lot to me, that she would go
to that trouble to meet a guy she had never met, for a friend she had never
met. That sums up Jaggie.
I have been away from FC for some time but I will never forget her kindness.

To Jaggie's Family and Friends
I wish with all my heart
I hope time will alleviate the pain that you must
feel
And memories of what you shared will help your
heart to heal
You lost someone so special,
Someone wonderful and dear,
But She will live on in the hearts of those who held Her near
Somewhere close, yet far away
Every night and every day
Your loved one's feeling what you feel
And hoping your heart will heal
For She will cry each tear you cry
And watch each sad day pass you by
Wishing just as you wish too
That She was once more close to you
She shares your every hope and fear
And pray that you still feel Her near
For if you keep Her by your side
Your grief will surely soon subside
And
You will find the love you feel
Will stay forever true
And whilst you spend this time apart
That love She had for you will heal your broken
heart
Jaggie you are missed each and every passing day!
Love RaveAngeL
Why You Had to Go
You've done so many things for so many others.
The love you had inside can't compare to another's.
It didn't matter to you who needed your time
We could all come to you without a reason or rhyme
To me you've been more than a friend
I could call you mentor and guide right to the end
Yet more than a year to the day
I still don't know what all to say
We all needed more since you passed
Aside is the anger that I have cast
Only to wish you well, so much so
Your job on Earth is done, and that's why you had to go.
Rest Well Jaggie,
Blaque
