The out pouring of love and kindness to us in the past few days has been overwhelming and wonderful - someone said we should change the name of Facebook to Jacquibook. It will take us a while to go through everything, but please know that each message and email is read and cherished.
I wanted to let you know about the service we will be having. The details are all at:
https://mhfh.com/tribute-ajax/print-obituary.html?id=28103 Jacqueline Michelle WARNER
August 19, 1986 – New Westminster, British Columbia
May 21, 2015 – Calgary, Alberta
Our princess, Jacqueline Michelle Warner left the ball at the stroke of midnight on May 21, 2015.
Jacqui was born on August 19, 1986 in New Westminster, BC. In 1996, she moved with her family to Calgary, AB. She attended Langley Fundamental and Prince of Wales Elementary Schools, RT Alderman Junior High, Lord Beaverbrook High School, Capernwray Bible School and Mount Royal University. She received her history degree at the University of Lethbridge in 2012.
Jacqui had a motto saying “I don’t like, I love” and she displayed this in all she did – and her passions were many: travel, music, movies, TV, British History, the NY Yankees, her faith, her chosen career, but nothing surpassed her passion for her family and friends.
Jacqui lived the last five years of her life with synovial sarcoma, and she filled these years to the brim with all of the things she loved.
She leaves behind her loving parents Peter and Carol, her devoted big, little brother, Tyler and her sweet kitten Miss Jany Valentine. She also leaves behind her grandma Nancie Warner and many aunties, uncles and cousins that she adored and was so proud of. Her grandfather Warner, nana and papa Hooge, aunties Gloria and Norma and Buddy will be so excited to see her on the other side.
Memorial Services will be held at First Alliance Church (12345 – 40th Street S.E.) on Friday, May 29, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. Donations may be made to her favorite charities through: http://www.youcaring.com/synovial-sarcoma-research-358681
In living memory of Jacqueline Warner, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Fish Creek, 14441 BANNISTER ROAD S.E. Telephone: 403-256-9575.
All are welcome.

Hi Carol;
I’ve been thinking about you lately so I thought I’d google you. Came up with your moms obituary which is where I found your married name. I was so very sorry to read your daughters obituary. I can’t imagine your pain but I want you to know that I’m praying for you and your family. My husband Michael and I have three children. Two sons and one daughter, all married with children. Our daughter Erin Siemens is 10 months older than your daughter so my thoughts are very much with you. We live in Steinbach Mb. If you are interested in chatting I’d enjoy that. Love and Prayers, Hedy

My sincere condolences Peter. My prayers will be with you and your family. In Portuguese we use the word “saudade” to describe the feeling of missing someone. It also signifies that you shared many especial moments worth carrying in your heart for the rest of your life.
May you find strength in the love you share with your family.
Blessings,
Caryna Pinheiro

Dear Carol, Peter and Tyler,
I’ve just watched the video of Jacqui and it does not take much to see that she was an incredible young woman – full of love, wisdom, intelligence, and sensitivity.
I am overwhelmed by her beauty and I am sure with a strong soul like Jacqui’s – she will always be with you.
With much love – and my profound condolences.

Thank you for sharing your family’s journey of heartache at your daughters memorial service. It was very honoring to Jesus, to her, and to your community of friends and family. The next morning I read a devotional by George Matheson out of “Streams in the desert” and it made me think of you.
(May 30th). Your family will be in my prayers in the days to come, especially Tyler.

I attended Prince of Wales Elementary and R.T. Alderman Junior High with Jacqui. We have been out of touch for a long time, but my thoughts and deepest condolences are with her family and friends now. It was a privilege to have known her for the short time that I did. She is an inspiration and has left a lasting impression on so many.

Jacqui,
You loved fiercely and will be missed fiercely. I remember the very first day I moved in and we became instant friends. We spent the day touring around Lethbridge. You as my tour guide, the wind at our backs, it really could not get any better. To finish off the evening we plopped down on the couch, flicked on the tele and started watching Saturday Night Live. Kristen Wigg came on the screen and was playing an infamous bald with baby hands and a snaggle tooth and you looked over with a cheeky grin and burst out laughing. Proceeding this, these words escaped your lips, ” you look like Kristen Wigg. We immediately went into hysterics. This was when I knew I had found my match and we would be the best of roommates. Three years we had together and that three years will never be forgotten. There was never a dull moment with you. You were the life of the party and always had a story to tell. My memories of you are so fond Jacqui and I am so very honoured I had the opportunity to do life with you. Thanks for joyfully living this life setting an example for so so many. Life is not too short, it is exactly as long as it it supposed to be, a statement that will keep with me forever. I have learned much from you. How to love, how to laugh, how to just be me. I sure hope you are tearing up the dance floor in heaven Midge. What a delight you were and will continue to be.

Dear Carol, Peter and Tyler,
Our love and sympathy to you from the team at the Intensive Palliative Care Unit.
I thought you might be interested in knowing the impact that Jacquie had here with us. Last week I found her blog entry “Life is Not too Short” on the printer on the unit. One of the nurses had been following Jacquie’s blog after having cared for her while here on the unit. She was so impressed she wanted to share it with others.
I too was impressed with the wisdom and faith that Jacquie exhibited in that thoughtful reflection. I mentioned it to the team gathered in rounds on the morning of the 22nd of May. One of the doctor’s asked if I might read it aloud for the whole team. We did not know that Jacquie had passed the night before but she was very much on our minds and she spoke to us all very eloquently that morning.
May God continue to give you all the strength, wisdom and comfort you need at this time.
Sincerely,
-David

My heart goes out to her family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. I have only met Jacqui on a handful of occasions and during these brief moments I can understand how big an impact she had on the world in such a short span of time. Her memory will live on in those she has blessed with her time here.

Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Know that God is aware of the tears you are shedding. (Psalm 56:18) He will soon do what is said at Acts 24:15, which promises us of a resurrection of our loved ones. May that bring you hope. Take comfort in your good memories and allow your family and loving friends to help you through this difficult time.

Jacqui’s strength and positive attitude was certainly part of who she was but please know that her core came from you, her family. For her to know she had this amazing support throughout her ordeal reinforced that she wasn’t on this part of her journey alone. There can be nothing harder than what you’ve been through and take peace in knowing she’s now safe and out of pain.
Much love, your Smith cousins, Graham, Linda and Gordon.

My heartfelt condolences for your loss. Jacqui was a mutual friend to my wife & I. We had the privilege of meeting & getting to know Jacqui where we used to work for many years. In the time we knew her, she proved a constant reminder of truly living life to the fullest. She appreciated things in a perspective not many see; she challenged the norm & brought a smile to our hearts with her positivity, smile & laughter. We love and miss you always.

Dear Carol, Peter and Tyler.
There really aren’t any words that convey the sadness that I feel for yourselves and Jacqui. Reading about her journey described what an amazing young woman she is. Her outlook on life was truly inspiring. She has left her family and friends with a lot of great memories to cherish forever. The only comfort is that she is no longer suffering and is at peace.
Take Care of yourselves
Love Susan

Dear Carol, Peter and Tyler,
We are very sorry for your loss. May every cherished memory of Jacqui comfort you in the days ahead. She was truly a special young lady and although we did not know Jacqui well, following her blog was such an insight to how selfless and full of love she was. The strength you all shared on this journey is an inspiration. Words cannot begin to describe how sad we feel for all of you. Love Barbara and Dan Williams

Though unfairly cut short her life was full.

Carol and Peter – I’m sure Jacqui had lots to do with your coping throughout these horrid and amazing five years. And she’ll be pleased with her “event” on Friday, no doubt! Please know that your family has impacted so many others including ours. Jacqui is in every rainbow you’ll see and all the beauty that surrounds you, whether it be a Lilac tree or the clear running stream nearby. You’ll never lose sight of her, but that doesn’t mean you can’t live on. Allow for the grief and the change. Our thoughts and love are with you all.
