I met Nefertiti Jaquez several times, and I was honored that she considered me a friend, trusted me, and even more honored that she allowed me to write her good-bye to you her viewers, friends and fans.
NEFERTITI JAQUEZ’s last day on the air was Christmas Eve. A popular reporter, sexy, hot, mature, thoughtful with a large fan follow as I discovered after I wrote about her the first time there wasn’t a day that went by that someone wasn’t looking her up.

(she’ll probably be embarrassed by my description, because the one thing NEFERTITI JAQUEZ is is humble, shy and private.)

She told me that she left her beloved position to take care of a sick family member, and as someone who just had a sick family member I can whole heartedly agree it was the right decision as this time is so very precious.

She wants everyone to know that she loves PHILADELPHIA, plans to be visiting a lot, and maybe one day I’ll be back. But for now, there are no concrete plans except be with family in Miami. “So I’m definitely taking a STEP OUT ON FAITH.”
AND FOR MY PERSONAL NOTE FROM HER: “As for us HughE, you still OWE me a date. So next time I am in Philly EXPECT an email. With that said, I MISS IT THERE…but I’m not gonna lie 80+ degree weather in Miami, just so nice as well as nice to be with my family.”

I look forward to her visit, because if it’s one thing I learned this year, it’s about quality of life, not quantity. God Speed NEFERTITI JAQUEZ XOXO

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with NEFERTITI JAQUEZ explains to me that Houston is close to Miami, where she is caring for an ailing relative and the weather is warmer. If it’s one thing we all know, cold weather is not good for the ailing. Philly’s loss is their gain. One blogger in the Houston area has already taken not on Nefertiti’s popularity and has written about her, that’s how I found out. And yes to Mike McGuff you should start a fan page you won’t be at a loss to followers for her: http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2010/01/nefertiti-jaquez-lands-at-kprc-2.html

UPDATE:

Former Fox29 reporter Nefertiti Jáquez returned to Philadelphia in 2013 to work for NBC10.
Update: March 9, 2015, Nefertiti Jáquez left NBC10. I’ll miss her she did stellar work.
