Thanks everyone.
« on: June 25, 2020, 10:29:42 PM »
Just want to let everyone know I have been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. I started treatments for it but don't know how anything will turn out. I had to quit doing models and making bodies. Also had to quit doing my videos and going to the track each week. After a lifetime of doing all of that it's been hard to walk away but I have no choice. I'm so weak I can't do much of anything. I'm not looking for pity, just wanted to let my friends on here know what's going on. Thanks to everyone for their friendship and support over the years.

So sorry to hear of this, Jackie.  I was just wondering about you today, knowing we had not heard from you in a while.  So much sickness of late, but I guess most of us are older now. 

You hang tight.  I will have you in my prayers. 

Thanks again for the videos, years ago now.  Most difficult to give up the things we love. 
Look to the Lord and His strength -  Seek His face always.

Sorry to hear this kind of news! Can't imagine having to stop doing what you've done so long. I've been out of racing for almost over 35 years and still miss it! Hang in there, you are in my thoughts!

  Sort of a loss for words here upon reading this.....Like Tom Birky stated, thank you for all you contributed to this hobby and the knowledge that you shared that the rest of us have used along the way.

  You are in our thoughts and prayers
