MINI: Christian’s Touching Tribute To His Mother-In-Law Jackie And The Emergency Services

The Christian O’Connell Show

Christian:

“This is how I’ll remember Jackie, my wife’s mum who died suddenly on Saturday. My mother-in-law who was way more than that to me. She welcomed me into the family when I was in debt, in a sales job I was sleepwalking through and mumbling about a dream of getting into radio

We are devastated and shocked and also grateful for a true small miracle that Sarah and I were there for her last few minutes. We held her and Sarah got to say how much her mum meant to her.

In a truly heartbreaking day, I also saw such incredible kindness and support from the first responders, Rob and Cass and the team who were humane and so caring in a devastating moment. Also the Police, Senior Constable Matthew at Victoria Police who gave us real care

The last three years she moved here to Australia and in her mid 70s built a strong community and life for herself. That’s who Jackie Sherrington was. Someone who makes something out of life.

Go in peace Jackie, we love you.”
