Hira shares her experience:
I just returned from Jeanene's Celebration of Life: It was touching to see hundreds of people from all differnt associations; medical, musical,high school students,friends,Reiki,church,charitable organizations. Jeanene also funded 2 non-profit organizations, Classy for the Cure, which supported research for GIST cancer, and Project Happy Toes, which provided shoes and socks for children in need in the Highline School District. It was held at St. Francis Church in Burien Wa. and there were 4 priests, 2 alter boys; communion was given for those who could take it, no mass was said, but many prayers and offerings were said. Several people spoke and at the end, the song Makumatatata was sung as we exited. There was a huge reception with lots of food to eat. Kathy Anderson read Jay's List of Things Cancer Has Taught Me, which was beautiful. This list can be found on her Caring Bridge Journal and can be printed out. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jlaegreid (page 4 Feb 2008). Then came a slide show of her life put to music. You could see how fun she made life and she always had a smile on her face. It ended with "Iz" singing Over the Rainbow. If you have never heard this it is the most beautiful rendition done of this classy song. Several Reiki folks were there and it seems like everyone I spoke with will be signing up for the Nov class. It was lovely and I sent Jay a rx during the church service.

Hira,
ReplyDeleteThank you for going to Jeanene's services to represent all of her Reiki pals. It is wonderful how full her life was. We got to see such a small portion of it but her openess allowed us to experience so much.
Reiki always heals but it doesn't always cure. That healing process brings so much wealth to our death.
Would you share with the group of the treatment you gave her at the services?
My Reiki Treatment to Jeanene while the Memorial Service Began:
ReplyDeleteI sent her a distant rx and immediately I felt the energy going to her. It was very gentle, peaceful and loving. I have felt this before, as though it was the loving kindness of Jesus. I could feel a great presence in the room and lots of love mixed with sadness of her friends, family. At the end of the rx, there was another rush of greatness and love.
I could feel her presence hovering atop the carved magestic image of St Francis in the ceiling .
That sounds so sweet. What a tribute to a life!
