I am so so sorry to hear about jackie/shecky/jaye, i just heard today. Unbelievable, again. She was I think the person I did the most Jackie 60 stage time w, along w Gloria Hole, and was just the best and most lovely generous lady. A sister, she was a shining person. Jackie and Gen together were an example of truest love, every conversation Ive ever had with either of them at one point or another turned to how in love , how hot they were for each other. I am so so sorry for Gen's heartbreak and loss, and for all of Jaye's friends and family, it's a huge loss.
I spoke to Gen today, who is grief stricken to say the least. S/he relayed to me how important it is to her that everyone honor and tribute Jaye, and their love for each other. She wants to make some kind of book where people testify about Jaye, and her life's work of proving that real perfect unconditional love does exist. I want to help her make this happen, if anyone has ideas about how to carry this out let me know.
Gen also said Jaye's spirit is still around, and actually pushed her off the bed! Making her presence knwn to her. She was buried in a beautiful place in Ithica, according to her wishes of not using any chemical embalming anything, (theres a name for this that i forgot, and only a few places in n america that allows for this type of burial) so that she can quickly become part of the earth and there are plans to sometime grow a tree in the spot above her. Gen bought the spot next to her.
Count me in to as extra hands to help organize whatever kind of memorial is put together.
Love to all of you
