She details tips and techniques her parents and she used throughout childhood, through college, into marriage, childbirth and as CEO of an automotive supplier. She tells of her triumphs over diabetic long term complications such as retinopathy and kidney failure via a kidney transplant heroically donated by her brother. If that wasn�t blessing enough, eighteen months later she received a pancreas transplant, ending 33 years of insulin dependence with the added benefit of preserving her new kidney.

Jacquie used these virtues to propel her to an undergraduate degree with a double major undergraduate degree and a master�s degree all within five years. That same spirit and tenacity secured her a position at her father�s manufacturing plant and gave her the strength to step into his shoes as CEO after his sudden death when she was only 31. Because of her successes in life despite the odds, Jacquie confidently proclaims that she has a Blessed Assurance
