I’m hoping you’re doing alright on the ocean. There’s been unusual flooding up here in Massachusetts.
All is OK……I think you got it worse then we did
Good to hear there is no flooding in your area. It’s quite bizarre here.
Hi Louis,
I was just watching the weather and am hoping the storm isn’t giving you too much trouble.
You, Jac, and the girls are always in my prayers.
Bernadette
The girls and I haven’t been out all day. We are doing OK….thanks for asking.
I think about you everyday. Many hugs to you.
Louis, I also offer my condolences to you. My recently departed husband said you and Jac were a Classy Couple and I heartily agree. I am 99% all Linea now and thank you for the way your designs make me feel. My heart goes out to you. How very blessed you were to have had such a lovely wife and special relationship, as did I. How very thankful I am and I’m praying for your heart to heal as you go on just as she would have you do. I do so appreciate your talent and your accessibility to your Linea Ladies. May God bless.
Dear Mimi, I am so sorry to hear of your husband’s passing I can only say I understand only too well your pain.
Dear Louis:
I do not often write here. In past it was to ask questions you were always gracious enough to answer. That alone has made you special to us! Though I wanted to offer my deepest condolences on Jac’s passing, words just seemed not to come – but in recent days I have noticed that whenever I wear one of your creations (which is often), I find myself thinking of Jac in one way or another and it occurred to me that is one way she still is with us. I think I am probably not alone in this so please know that in everything you have created and hopefully still will create I will always think of Jac and remember her grace, beauty and particularly her smile!
Dear Bizfrog…..that is very kind of you to say. I wouldn’t want anyone to ever forget her. It helps me to know how you feel about my Jac.
I have never commented on this, or any other website. I have silently followed your posts on here for a few years. Having read many of these posts lately I think I can probably speak for some others as well as myself. You first got our attention based upon the quality of your clothes. As we recognized the thoughtfulness, kindness and warmth you, and Jac, possessed, you both earned the love and caring of many based on depth of fine character. I imagine there are many others such as me, who have silently cared and prayed for you and Jac. Like so many others, I was concerned and saddened by the news of your loss. There are many eloquent comments here. This is just a simple statement to let you know there is another one who cares and wishes you comfort in your loss. I have no doubt Jac’s spirit is with you now and always will be. She will forever be at your side in spirit, sending you physical messages such as the swans. There are many of us who have never known such a love but have wished for it and who rejoice in knowing it does exist. Especially when two wonderful people find each other. You and Jac will remain in my prayers. It can be difficult at such times of grief, but please take good care of yourself as Jac would want. I remember hearing you mention in times past how she took great care of you. She surely wants the best for you now too. Thank you for staying in touch here with us.
Louis, I am so, so sorry to read this and learn of Jac’s passing. She was a lovely lady and your soulmate.I know your heart is aching now but the old cliche that the passing of time helps is true. I know this from grieving for someone I loved very much. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Louis
I’m so sorry for your loss. I had no idea Jac was unwell, she was always so stylish and so graceful. Your words of her are so
Honest and loving, we should all be so blessed to have a love as genuine as yours and hers. Go through your pain and your tears,
It’s a part of the process. Don’t ever feel like you shouldn’t. One day the pain will ease, not go away, but it will ease.
I only watch Qvc because of you and what you bring to the show along with Jac. She will always be with you.
Praying for you 🙏🏾
Dear Louis,
Thank you for reaching out for the New Year. I have been so worried about how you are coping. The story of the swans brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. There can be no doubt that it was Jac and her Mother gliding by. Jac wanted to assure you that they are together and also with you. I absolutely believe in these gifts from loved ones who have passed into another life. I have received them myself. Please know that we think of you continually and send you our love and support.

Louis, what a gorgeous picture with Jac in your arms. Two white swans,wow. It was definitely Jac and her mom, what a perfect representation. I hope that sign brought you some peace and that each day brings some healing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful post. Remember we love you and are here for you. Wishing you a healthy and healing new year. Sending prayers and hugs.
My Dear Louis, I check your website everyday to see if you have posted. I finally got it working today. I was heartened to see the beautiful picture of you and Jac. In so many ways, the Swan represents Jac. That is why she sent them to you. Jack has always represented grace, beauty, strength and peace. She is pure in spirit, just like the Swan. We are all here for a short while and then we join our loved ones. Again, Jac will always be beside you, watching and leading the way for you. Think of her words and her strength and your heart will eventually lighten a little bit at a time. Please know, you and Jac are in my heart and thoughts everyday. I ask God to make everyday a little easier for you. I talk to my loved ones that I have lost and that comforts me. Day by day, do what you have to do to get by. I and all of your ladies are hugging you and we are sending you our love.
Dear Louis,
I, too, was very happy to see your New Year’s Day Post! Such a Beautiful photo! I am glad that the Swans appeared – Jac will always be with you.
My heart goes out to you, Louis. You write so beautifully and candidly about your grief, and we grieve with you. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily. Thank you for the many ways you have made life a little sweeter for us through the years. It is a consolation that you know you will be together again some day.
Blessings,
Pam
Our deepest condolences on the loss of your dear Jac. Even though I have never met you, after so many years of watching the both of you (and even copying Jac’s fabulous looks) you could see what a special relationship you both shared. What a wonderful blessing! May Jac always be an Angel over your shoulder, watching over you ,helping you, caring for you,and offering you comfort .
Dear Louis your loving tribute to jac touched all of us. Your love for one another was a very special gift
To each other. I pray God gives you strength, comfort and peace as you grieve. God bless you Louis.
Cheri
Dear Louis
I have been trying to find the words to tell you how sorry I am for the loss of your beautiful wife Jac. But there are none, I have read all of the wonderful messages sent to you they are my feeling as well!
Thank you for opening your heart and sharing your beautiful love story. Know that all your Linea Ladies and crying with you. Wishing all the best for you in the New Year. I pray that you will find peace.
Your friend, Kathy
Dear Louis, I just want you to know how many people you and Jac have touched over the years. It has always been lovely to see you both, and your goodness has always come through. What a beautiful tribute you wrote about her; I know we were all so touched. Yes, I think you will see many signs to tell you she is right there with you, and that is so comforting. Please know that we are all praying for you and thinking about you. We all love you, Louis.
With deepest sympathy, Louis. Keep in touch with God and he will give you the strength when you need it most.
Dear Louis,
I am so very sorry for your loss of your dear Jac.
Thank you for sharing your story with us – it is clear how much you love each other and the grace with which you parted.
I know this pain, too. God bless you, Louis, you must somehow live with it, knowing that you will never stop missing her but that the pain will ease and that the sweetness of the love you share will live on, that somehow you will still share happy moments with her in your heart,
God’s grace to you.
Dear Louis I was so touch by your beautiful tribute you wrote for your Jac my peace be with you . As time goes by it will get better but remember she will always be in your heart. You could hear the love you had for each other and she will always be with you with every step you take. Take care and God Bless you.
Dear Louis,
I am sorry for your lose of Jac. It is true, your eyes lit up when she was wearing your clothes on QVC.
I hope with your design talent, you continue to bring the public your elegant designs. Everyone feels, this is what Jac would have wanted – and, you can do it in her memory.
At some point, I too will be with my “Mommy”.
My Dear Louis,
I want to thank you for sharing such a beautiful, personal and painful love story. My heart broke for you and Jac as I read it. The two of you shared a love and devotion that is rare. How fortunate you were to have found each other. The picture you posted of Jac is exquisite. Jac, always stunning, looks perfectly at peace, and bathed in the most beautiful glow. This is how I will always remember her. The two of you have given us so much… I wish my words could somehow ease your grief but I know that is not possible. Please know that our loving thoughts embrace you.
Donna from California
Mr Dell Olio, my heart aches for you in the loss of your your beautiful wife, Jac. As a woman who has suffered the loss of dear family members, I say to you do not pull back or shy away from the love, warmth, and support that people, even complete strangers will offer you. It’ll be part of your healing as you allow grief to have its place. My prayer for you is God will allow you to tangibly sense His presence, comfort, and peace.
Louis My heart is broken for you and your family.I loved your shows and your wife was always so beautiful.I am so sorry.Please take care and know we are all praying for you.
I will be praying for your strength.
may the beautiful Jac be at eternal peace now..my heart goes out to you Louis,take all the time you need,remember her beautiful smile and kind voice,my love to you..
Dear Louis,
I am so sorry. What a lovely tribute to a lady who was beautiful inside and out. We will miss her grace and her funny stories. We could easily see the special love you two shared. Keep her close in your heart and also know that we love you. Hope there is some peace in knowing that she is with her loving mother. Sending deepest condolences, prayers, love and hugs.
Dear Louis, I am very sorry for your loss of your beautiful and beloved wife,Jac. May her memory be eternal.
You write so poignantly of the love Jac gave to you. We hear in your note what enormous love you hold for her.
I think it’s important to note that you allowed Jac to do what she loved, model beautiful clothing, well beyond the age most models are allowed practice their profession. By taking your enormous talents to QVC, the one place I know where models are acknowledged to exist beyond about age 30, you two could both continue to do what you love.
What a gift that was to her, Louis. And to us.
I have just finished reading your blog my heart aches for your loss. May God and Jac and her mommy send you love and the strength to continue on until the day that you are altogether again. God bless you.
I pray that you’re memories will help to heal the hole left in your heart. God bless.
Louis I’m so so sorry for your lost with tears in my eyes I pray for you always you both were so in love it showed always jac will be missed and you will always have the wonderful memories and love for each other. R I p jac your now pain free.so very sorry for your lost
My deepest condolences to you and the family. There’s no words take can take the pain and void ones feels from losing a loved one. The void, emptiness after time will be less. But it never heals. I pray God comforts you and provides solace. Jac would want you to move forward and learn to laugh again, until we will be reunited with our loved ones who are saving a special place for us. Although we may never meet, I pray for you and will be in my daily prayers. God blessed you with a beautiful soul. Blessings to you sir.
Dearest Louis, I found myself unable to put my feelings into words last night when I first read your honest and loving tribute to incomparable Jac. Her gentle soul, sweet nature and loving nature was met by an amazing Class. How lucky to have her beside you, the perfect Muse and Life’s companion…and of course your spiritual connection and journey is a new beginning rather than ending!
Thank you, dear Heart for always making us feel part of your family, and sharing so much of yourselves with a genuine and generous manner. Please know you are never alone, healing energy, much love and prayers coming your way every day…xoxoxo
Lou I’m so sorry for your loss of your beloved wife Jac
I read your post and cried cried cried . Please have the strength to go on Jac would of wanted that my prayers are with you always..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎈🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dear Louis,
As others have expressed, our hearts breaks for you. Having experienced loss, I believe that I understand some of the pain that you are going through. I read your very poignant and beautiful tribute to Jac several times and sense not only the pain you express in losing her but the hope that she will always be beside you in spirit, and the assurance that you will be together again. That is the hope that comforts. Our God is a compassionate God. I pray that He will give you peace in your spirit, comfort for the days ahead and the strength and courage to live your life as your beloved Jac would want for you. Your extraordinary and timeless love story can never be taken or diminished. The things that you feel you need todo to keep Jac near you and to sense her will keep your special and precious memories clear and present. Watch for the ways in which God will comfort you with his compassion. I lost my dear father and thought that I would never recover. In life, he loved to watch wild birds and care for them. After he passed and my grief could not be consoled, I prayed for comfort. The next three days, the trees in my yard were filled with hundreds of robins, singing and chirping throughout the day. It was a beautiful symphony that continued each March, for three days, for three years, and then they ceased to return, but I was left with wonderful peace in my heart. Know that we are here for you and will continue to keep you in our prayers and thoughts. We may be your faceless friends, but we are friends nontheless. Thank you for sharing your very personal feelings, and most of all, thank you for sharing your beautiful Jac with us over the past years. It has been an honor and blessing.
Dear Louis, What a beautiful tribute to Jac and what a beautiful love you both shared. Time will ease your pain but Jac will always be in your heart. Please stay strong in this difficult time and know that your friends are praying for both of you. You are loved! My deepest condolences.
Dear Louis,
My heart is breaking for you & Jac. Your love story will live throughout eternity.
Jac was a class act.She was beauty & grace.I will hold you both in my prayers.Let your beautiful memories of your wonderful life together guide you through the darkness!!
Dear Mr. Dell Olio,
I am so deeply sorry to hear of your beloved Jac’s passing. The love you two shared was always apparent. She was your perfect muse. I would like to share a poem I received when I lost a loved one and hope it brings you comfort in the days to ahead. Thank you for sharing this most heartfelt and personal info with us. Your love will live on as your Jac watches over you from heaven. G-d bless you kind sir!
“When we have done all the work we were sent to do, we are allowed to shed our bodies, which imprisons our soul like a cocoon encloses the butterfly and when the time is right we can let go of it. Then we will be free of pain, free of fears and free of worries– Free as a beautiful butterfly returning home to G-d… Elisabeth Kubler-Ross” May the love and strength sent your way lift you up during this most difficult time. Bless you Mr. Dell Olio
Dear Louis, Many tears were shed yesterday upon hearing of the loss of your beautiful Jac. Your Linea ladies consider you and Jac family. We will morn along with you. Hopefully knowing so many of us are praying for you will help in some small way.
Dear Louis,
As always, your love for Jac shines through. I am very sorry to hear of her illness and of her passing. I am so sad as I know everyone is. I send my love to you and pray that as you live each day, fond memories of Jac and your love for each other will support you. You promised her…..I know that you will find the strength to keep your promise.
Louis, my sincere and deepest sympathy on your profound loss of Jac. As I read your tribute my eyes just teared up. I will continue to pray that your pain and grief will eventually become fond memories that comfort you. I know this will be very difficult moving forward but if you listen to what Jac said and take it one day at a time God will continue to lift you up and give you strength.
Dear Louis
My words will never express how sorry I am to learn of the loss of your beloved Jac. It was only this morning that she floated into my mind as I watched the Q, wondering when you’d be on and if she would be back since she had not been with you recently. Then I learn this news and I felt there was a reason for my Jac moment: that there truly can be a connection with people even if they’ve never met. I always waited to see what Jac was wearing before I ordered anything because I admired her look and her taste that you often referred to, like the outfits she wore on vacation or to the theater. Two of the activities shared with the friend in my mind! She oozed sophistication while never seeming to try to hard. She made it look so easy and natural. I can only imagine your heartbreak, but want you to know that I and so many of us will be thinking of you both and keeping you in our prayers. May you have the peace that Jac wanted for you and that you continue in her name to do what you love for those that love you both.
Louis,
We are saddened to hear of the passing of your precious Jac. We have been promised we will be united one day with our loved ones and there will be no more sorrow no more pain. God bless you.
Dear Louis,
My prayers are with you right now. You and Jac have been such an inspiration and blessing to me. I pray that God gives you strength right now and forever. Your letter was the most beautiful thing and gave me strength this morning as I read it. What a beautiful love story. Please know that God is with you and Jac is there watching over you and interceding for you. Bless you.
Dear Louis,
My heart is broken after hearing about Jac.
I say a prayer that you have the strength to go on without her.
Much Love and please be strong.
Ida
My deepest condolences, Louis. May God rest Jac’s soul, and give you peace, and solace in the days to come.
Dear Louis, Thank you for sharing your beautiful tribute to Jac. I was very touched by your loving thoughts. I hope that you will find peace in your memories and strength and love from your friends and family.
Dear Louis, Thinking if you at this unbelievably sad time.
My deepest condolences. As always,’Love Fredda
My deepest sympathy to you Louis! I am so sorry for your loss! Your tribute to Jac was beautiful! May you find comfort knowing she is with her mother and free of pain! God bless you!
Louis, I could not stop crying as I read about your darling Jac. She was a beautiful person, and the love you shared was evident. I pray that you will feel how close she will always be to you and that you know that God has His arms around you.
Louis, I remember Jac sharing memories and recipes over the years, in addition to sharing her grace and fashion sense, I am tearful as I write this. There are no adequate words but to say we love you and hope you will find strength and peace. My deepest sympathy on the loss of beautiful Jac.
Dear Louis, I am deeply saddened for you in the passing of your beloved wife Jac. Your letter to all of us touched my heart deeply. I will remember you in my prayers daily as you gain some type of peace. Hopefully the caring and concern of others will help you through. I pray God will send His Holy Spirit to give you comfort and strength to continue on. Blessings on your new year.
Dear Louis
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you for sharing your lovely tribute to your beloved Jac. Your words touched my heart very deeply. I am grateful that in this case you did “talk too much” That part of your words made me smile! Jac would have loved what you wrote.
I hope with all my heart that the love of your friends and comfort of your Babies will help you to take care of yourself during this sad time.
Jac is with her beloved Mother Dear Louis. I know that you will be together again.
I love you both
Gloria
Thank you for sharing your beloved Jac with us. She was pure beauty and class. Do not be sorry about anything. Like love I think loss too is is hard to share with others. You want to keep it to yourself for many reasons whether they make sense does not matter. What matters is your heart. There will come a day when you may want to share and speak more about Jac with others. Right now it’s about keeping her close to your heart all for your very own. She will always be in your heart. Nothing can take that away. Please take care of yourself for her. That is what she wanted and told you so. Reach out to your friends and family when you are ready and when you need to. You will be overwhelmed by how much they care and love you. Joy will come back in your life. The littlest of things will make smile again. Time will bring this to you. It’s just so difficult when you feel your world has completely ended and you look around and everyone- everything just keeps going on like nothing has happened. Just Remember to continue to love and be true to yourself. Take it day by day or minute by minute. Whatever you need to do.
Louis
Thank you for your lovely tribute to Jac. You are in my prayers.
Dear Louis,
I cried when I read your tribute to your beloved Jac. It hurts so bad because she is such a special person and your other half. She will always be a part of you, and you WILL be together again. Hugs, and God Bless you Both. Marie
Dear Louis, you have my deepest condolences. We Linea ladies, too, will miss your Jac. Please know that your Linea friends wish you peace and strength.
Dear Louis,
Thank you for sharing so honestly and heartbreakingly about Jac’s passing. You so eloquently wrote of the tragedy of watching her illness progress and you both working to create the most peaceful environment for her safe transition.
Your love letter to Jac was so meaningful and your journey is on your own timetable, your grief is so personal, and as the many emotions continue, I wish you peace and comfort for when, and as, you are able to allow it. She will no doubt continue to be your muse and your guiding star.
My deepest condolences on your supreme loss,
Debra
There are no words. Love and healing dear Louis
There are no words. Love and peace Louis
Louis I send you love & strength. Thank you for your kindness in sharing Jac & your personal story with us.
Dear Louis,
You are so wise to know that “Our physical journey has now ended, but I know in my heart our spiritual journey has just begun.”
There is a law of physics that says matter can be neither created nor destroyed. In other words, we and everything else just change form. Jac’s beautiful body has changed form, but her beautiful spirit will live forever. You will feel her presence, hear her voice, intuit her feelings as long as your body is on this earth. And when your body changes form, your spirit will live with hers.
Let yourself grieve fully, knowing that so many mourn your loss. Thanks for taking us into your confidence. Know that, when you are ready, we will welcome you back with open arms.
Dear Louis,
Having read your sad but lovely tribute to your wife earlier today, my mind keeps going back to you. I’m not the type that writes to celebrities or people that I don’t know, but I feel compelled to do so today. As others have said, I feel that I know you even though we haven’t met. I offer my deepest sympathy and have included you in my prayers. I also lost my spouse many years ago and can try to imagine what you are going through. I realize there are few words anyone can say or actions anyone can take that will provide much comfort. Grief unfortunately is a process we just have to go through as we learn to live without our loved one. Often those who have passed come to us in spirit to provide comfort. I’m sure Jac is often with you just as my husband was and still is for me. God blessed me with another husband several years ago. He occasionally watches you on QVC with me. At dinner tonight out of the blue he said that he felt bad about your loss. So it just goes to show how you and Jac touch many lives! Praying for comfort!
Louis I feel so sorry for the loss of your Jac. She will always be with you in your heart. Jac was a beautiful person inside and out. I pray that as you take one step at a time you feel Jac holding you up. I wish there was a way for me to ease your pain.
Dear Louis,
I am so sorry. How lucky you and Jac were to have each other for so many wonderful years–so many happy memories. I can feel your pain through your blog and know this time is so hard. Jac will be in your heart forever-nothing can change that. Prayers for you.
My Dearest Louis, I am writing this to you with a hurting heart and tears running down my face. I am so, so sorry to hear about your (she has become as you have, OUR) beloved Jac. We all felt a closeness and warmth exuding from Jac. You and Jac were and still are the perfect pair. Jac could never slip away from you. She is your heart. That can never be lost or taken away. I cry for the loss of Jac and for your aching heart. Do what you have to do, whatever makes you get through the minutes, days and months ahead. I and all of your Linea Ladies are with you now and as long as you need and want us to be there for you in whatever way we can. Again, I don’t know what else to say but I truly care about you as a gentle, kind soul, as I have said in the past. My husband wants to send his condolences. Since he has seen me upset, he was concerned himself. I will not write you again until you let your ladies know it’s ok to do so. Just know that you are in my heart and I am thinking about you and mourning Jac. I would like to make a donation to Jac’s favorite charity. If you feel that that is appropriate, please let me know. Publicly or privately. I am hugging you right now and crying with you. Jac will always be watching over you and sitting beside you. That is a certainty!
Dear Louis,
There were tears in my eyes as I read your beautiful tribute to your wonderful Jac. The love the two of you shared was evident to all of us who loved you both. Please know that God and Jac are both looking down on you to give you the strength to go on. We will all miss her terribly but find some peace because she is in the arms of her loving mother. God bless you Louis and keep you strong.
