Friends of Jone

 
Jone’s dear friend Nancy describes her best:

“Allow me to introduce you to my friend Jone --
 
She is a treasure, a repository of untold intelligence, incredible abilities for delving into the human mind and condition.  You can always catch her reading, studying, learning,  she has a voracious appetite for truly understanding people.  Jone is a unique, incredible human being -- she is masterful; having learned the secrets of so many disciplines such as Herbalism, Shamanic studies, Reiki, Crystal healing, Auric repatterning, physical and psychic healing, and as a sideline Drumming!   She holds intense feelings for humanity and humankind, and has always been active in helping others to heal.  Throughout her life she has maintained a quirky sense of humor, joy, wonder, and optimism in facing all the positive and negative times that have come to pass, on her pathway through this lifetime -- and she has been able, until this crisis befell her, to keep a healthy body and mind.
 
We who know her feel so lucky to be involved with such a free spirit -- mother, daughter, sister, Kukla (her secret "Nana" name), and for so many -- friend.  Although she has always been nurturing, creative, and loving, she is imminently aware of the unhappy things that invade our lives.  And she herself, is a vulnerable human being, captive to this devastating disease called Cancer.  Perhaps captive, but not victim -- she has never said "Why me?"  She has bravely come to grips with the reality of today and decided that this disease will never ever label her! 
 
Jone believes in the power of prayer, of healing, and she believes in miracles.  She has the spirit of a warrior and will fight the good fight.  She has so much inner strength, and intense spiritual energy behind her dark eyes, that seem to hold the deepest mysteries of Life. She is a force to be reckoned with -- and she will do her utmost to prevail with the help of one and all.”
 
Now she is having treatments at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the costs are incredible.  We have created this website as a space where Jone’s loved ones can make a contribution that will not only defray the expense of her treatment, but also help to offset out of pocket expenses of copays, gas, parking and adjunct therapies offered by Dana Farber not covered by insurance (i.e. Acupuncture, reiki, etc.). 

Please also visit our Guest Book and write a note to Jone and her family!
