A Virtual Memorial That Brings Real Tears…
Jamie was known as Jammers in the virtual world, Second Life.
She passed away on March 28th. If you've newly arrived at this blog, scroll down through the last few posts for some background…
Watching people arrive at her Shrine, pause in silence, then place their flowers or candles…
Hearing them talk about her…
She chose a little kitty as her avatar–Basement Kitteh…
People pass by who didn't know her; quiet explanation is made of the two pictures, her real life beauty and her virtual kitty–rambunctious kitteh :-)
Often, I visit; each time someone new is there…
I took a picture of the Shrine today. The man standing there is Bonchance Longfall. He wrote the Memorial Poem below this picture. In real life, Jamie was mute. I had been her voice for many readings of her poetry:
In the clamor of others to be heard
she expressed herself with just a pen,
her only way was the written word.
We will not hear her words again.
Twenty-seven! Her heart is still,
nevermore will she bear her pain.
One more angel, called for her skill
to a gathering of angels, her new domain.
Her hands now lie on her placid breast
and we think of all she gave us, when
all fear and hurt are put to rest,
and her writing sings out over our din.
Her storm has calmed, so we must abide
as peace now comes, at God's side.
