Remembrances |

“You confided to Jones about your suicidal feelings as heard in the documantary the people of peoples temple.
It is a shame how Jones misguided you.
May you rest in peace as you so deserve. ” - Casey Strain“I first saw this cute young woman in a video. On the screen it showed her name and below that read "Died in Jonestown."
When I saw that, it really hit a nerve.
Seeing her alive but knowing she was now dead. And her not knowing what was going to happen as she talked about Jim Jones, I could feel a lump in my throat.
She confided in Jones about her suicidal tendencies.
It is so ironic that she would later die in a mass suicide, and as well one orchestrated by a man who was supposed to help her overcome these tendencies.
I hope she is resting peacefully. And my heartfelt condolences go out to her family.
Sincerely,
Barry Odette
