Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)
 

Below is a wonderful video (made two years ago) sent to us by Jessica's very kind and generous sister, Janice. Jessica and Janice remind us to Keep the Faith always (which we MUST do). Jessica made the video (in Janice's words) to "inspire everybody to LIVE a life full of hope, humor, family and love".

I plan to do my very best.
I just re-edited (again!) and think the link here as well as the one below will work. Keep in mind that a commercial will run first.
Love,
Karen Z

I can watch this video if I place it in a Word document or when Janice sent it. I think I need help from the tech people on this site as it is not showing here. Trying again another way:

o.k., this will work. you will see a commercial followed by Jessica's video.

Wow!
Such a beautiful spirit. No wonder I miss her so much!

Thanks, Karen, and Jessica!

I can't view the video - she sure was wonderful though.

Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)
 

The link worked fine for me and thanks for sharing this Karen, I had come to know Jessica here but it was wonderful to see and hear her speaking , what an amazing woman. I'd suggest for anyone not being able to view this to try switching your browser to Chrome which should work.

Hi Mandamoo,
Try the link in my SECOND posting (at 12:39). I do not know why that one works but the first did not when I copied/pasted here (at least for me). Both work fine everywhere else (Word document/when Janice sent, etc.) Thanks for your advice Tricia about switching to Chrome.

Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)
 

I have now edited things so that the link will work in both my first and second posting (sorry for the duplication). Again, Tricia suggests switching to Chrome if one has any problems. The video is beautiful.

Jessica is missed so. She was and is Hope as all of you stage 4 women here are to me. I can only imagine just how many people here and in her day to day life she helped including me. I'm in awe of her and everyone here. Everything that goes on in your own lives and you still have time to teach hope here. So many of us that are lucky enough to find this site were searching for hope and thinking at the same time there isn't any. My God I'm so ashamed that I felt I wasn't worthy of the fight or strong enough for this fight. Each and everyone of you show me how wrong I was every time I sign in. I am so blessed. Thank you Jessica. Thank you everyone here.

What a beautiful inspiring video. Thank you for posting it and thanks to all of you here that share their knowledge, humor and support. I feel like I am very lucky to have found you all.

Thank you for that Janice. What a spirit and calmness that Jessica had. She faced so many battles but continued on embracing her life and adding to everyone's around her. The look on her dog's face was also one of pure love and devotion to her. Peace to your family.

LoisLane,
Your words are so true ("What a spirit and calmness that Jessica had. She faced so many battles but continued on embracing her life and adding to everyone's around her". Also, so true about the devotion of Jessica's dog. It seems like they were meant to be with each other!

Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)
 

To Pray,
You are not alone when you say you felt you were not worthy or strong enough for the fight. Please do not be ashamed. Many of us here have had those same feelings and have been bolstered strongly by Jessica and others..... who did know all along that they had the ability to Keep the Faith and LIVE. We have been blessed to know them and to have known them and we must let their courage not only inspire us but move us to the next level. I now feel that very strongly and can only hope that I am up to the challenge (which goes against my nature as anyone who knows me can tell you). I AM TRYING in Jessica's memory and honor and those of our other incredible sisters. We have lost some wonderful people this year and we must change our lives (if needed) to show them how much they have affected us.

She is truly missed.

Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)
 

Yes, that is also a really nice video. Great to see Jessica doing her teaching and training in the studio.

Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)
 

Thank you for sharing the videos. They were both wonderful.

Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)
 

Yes, both are a wonderful tribute and very inspiring to us all.

I am "bumping this up" so that members who may have missed the two wonderful videos on this thread can see some truly inspiring actions and words by Jessica (who is very missed by all).

Karen
How would you feel about adding these two beautiful video links to the "Remembering Jessica" thread so we can come back to them easily, whenever we need a spirit boost?

Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)
 

Hi Denise,
I think that is a fine idea. I am pretty sure the second (KDR posted) video, although maybe with another link (?), is on the first two early threads that were posted. But please feel free to post the new one from Jessica's sister Janice to the earlier threads as well. And I think you are so right about giving us a sometimes much needed and much desired "boost".

Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)
 

Hi to everyone and happy Monday.
I have wondered whether seeing the videos posted about Jessica (and in Jessica's words) may not only given us a "boost" or will give us a "boost" when needed but will effect the way we decide to live our lives. I think they are powerful messages from a powerful woman and, again, wonder how we might chance our day to day living because of them. I know I am working hard to be more optimistic in general.......not of cancer related issues per se.......but to be more optimistic and more open to the future. Has anyone but me been inspired to change something about one's day to day (or future) living?
