Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)

Karen,

For some reason I can not watch the video's again. I am on my iPad and maybe that's why. I watched them before, but I wanted to re-watch them. I didn't know her on the board, however when she passed away I saw the love that was poured out to her from people on this site. I watched videos, read old posts and wanted to read her story, so I could see what others felt such love and admiration for her and wanted inspired as well. She sounded like a true angel in life and still is in her passing. Jessica touched many people's lives and as you said if we can strive to incooperate those same characteristic's in ourselves and be the best we can be by never giving up, being kind, and try to live our life to the fullest then we can continue to carry out here spirit and touch others lives by example.
