“Jocelyn and I were great friends in the United States, and even more so in Guyana. In Guyana, we worked as "procurors" together - going door-to-door collecting recycling, and buying supplies to send into Jonestown. She was feisty and always outrageously funny and adventurous. I remember her running and jumping on a ferry we were traveling on - she was already five months pregnant. Nothing would stop her once she set her mind to something. She was enthusiastic and always fun to be paired up with. ” - Laura Johnston Kohl
