Another commented: “Soul mates forever !! Don't be sad !! bestow your sister the honour by living your life to the full..we raise a glass to Jackie !!”
Jackie - who sold over 500 million copies of her novels - died following a six-year battle with breast cancer.
Joan's younger sister chose to keep her illness a secret and only told her about it two weeks before her death.
Appearing on This Morning last year, the Golden Globe winner opened up about her loss and admitted: "I cried for three or four months.
"I miss her terribly. I have talked about it. Grief is a process. I think I cried for three or four months, two or three times a day.
"Then you get over that and you accept it, but then you think, 'why did it happen?'"
