Topic: Our Condolences To Nelly & His Family Posted: March 24 2005 at 5:52pm
All of us at HairBoutique.com were saddened to hear that Jacqueline "Jackie" Donahue, a sister of Grammy-winning rapper Nelly, died Thursday at a St. Louis hospital after a long battle with leukemia.
Jackie, a 31-year-old mother of two, worked as Nelly's stylist until her illness forced her to leave that position.
In March 2003, Nelly & Jackie formed a campaign called "Jes Us 4 Jackie" to find donors for Donahue and others, and to raise awareness about bone marrow donations. Nelly & Jackie worked together to educate and raise awareness about the disease and the need for African-Americans to join the National Donor Registry.
The 30-year-old rapper 's PR team reported that several dates on his tour had been postponed.
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)
