Where is that big white brick wall It badly needs some art on it. Congratulations on your film.
Great film Jane. If anything it's made you more outgoing and lovable. Always up for hiking a mountain having an all night bender or singing up a tune at the local karaoke joint. I've never seen you as an epileptic more as a fun chick crazier than I am. Love ya Janey. xoxo
That was such a wonderful explanation of our world labeling everything. A medical condition or not we are all still walking humans. Great job Jayne.
This lady is my friend and she has suffered her fair share of health problem in her life. I have never met anyone who is so strong as her in my life. She is an Inspiration to me and everyone who has been lucky enough to have met her. Her outlook on life is amazing. She never seems to let anything beat her or keep her down and she gets straight back on her feet. I will never ever have the strength that she has with everything she has faced. I am so proud of you Janey. Keep on shining the bright smile in everyone you meet. Love you
I've known Janie for many years and she achieved more than anyone I know. She is truly an inspiration to everyone
