Yesterday I published a blog about my friend Jane who passed on Friday, April 10 from complications connected to COVID19. She was 93, and she was my mom's best friend, but she also became my friend. The news was devastating to me as I had known Jane over my entire life. However, less than 12 hours later, she gave me a sign she was okay on the other side. Here's what happened.
In Friday night at about 6:45 p.m., I learned about her passing just 15 minutes before I did a facebook live event. One of Jane's daughters messaged me through Jane's facebook messenger and let me know (Yes, Jane at 93 had a facebook page - she was always very hip). I had 15 minutes to collect myself before the facebook live event began with my friend Brian, manager of the paranormal group called "The Ghost Pit." Brian had arranged for he and I to give an dog rescue fundraising lecture about how pets communicate from the afterlife. Although it was supposed to be in a venue in Pennsylvania, because of the brutal COVID19 outbreak, we were in our respective homes at our computers for the video event. I mentioned Jane's passing to Brian just before the show, and tried to focus on the topic. The show went well and made some money for the pitbull rescue.
After it was over, I took my empty dish (I always have 2 cookies for dessert at night) and cup (for herbal tea) and brought them to the kitchen. I usually wash them but for some reason I put them in the sink (unusual for me). The next morning, the sink would be the site of Jane's sign to me.
The long hair Jane left of the dish
In the morning when I came back into the kitchen to make breakfast for Tom and I and our dogs, I went over to the sink. On the dish that I had put there less than 8 hours before was a long strand of reddish brown hair, obviously from a woman, laying lightly on the dish. I immediately sensed Jane was there. (Jane had the color hair before she went grey).
Of course, my husband Tom came in the kitchen and I told him about it. We tried to understand how that happened. He said, "That's weird." It was. First, we are two men and have 4 very short-haired dogs. Second, we've been home bound like everyone else for the last 6 weeks. Third, it has been more than 2 or 3 months that a woman was in our home. Fourth, I put the dish in the sink myself the night before and we weren't awake overnight, and again, there isn't a woman in the house.
I knew it was Jane's hair. I knew it was her sign to me that she was okay in spirit. Now that I think about it, I recall hearing, "I'm fine, I'm fine." She told me to convey this to her daughter and family. She also said she is very much around them in spirit. She sends her love and thanks to her family She said there are 2 Phillip's there (one I know is her late husband).
So, spirits can give us all kinds of signs from the other side to let us know they're around and they are okay. Finding a strand of hair from someone in spirit is a first for me. I'm just very happy to hear from Jane.
This has been a tough month for many people, myself included. Last week, Charlie, my friend of 23 years passed from a battle with cancer. This past weekend, I learned that my friend Jane passed away.
Jane has known me since I was born, and that's because she was my mom's best friend. Jane was 93 when she passed on Friday, April 10. She was living in a nursing home in Massachusetts, and contracted the COVID19 virus.
I have 50 plus years of wonderful memories of my mom's time spent with Jane, and the many conversations they had. Jane always made everyone smile. She has a beautiful family or grown children, and grandchildren. Jane's husband Phillip passed in 2004, and I also remember him fondly.
Often, when I was in my teens and 20s and lived at home with my parents, if Jane called, I would always talk with her for a little while before I called my mom to the phone. Jane always made you feel cared for, and she left that impression on me even as a kid. As I grew older, I would mail her my paper newsletters, and finally emailed her my daily blogs.
When my dad passed in 2008, Jane, wheelchair bound then, made it a point to be at the services for my mom and our family. My mom used to drive to visit Jane and would tell me of their great conversations. Jane's calm demeanor, and patience beyond the understanding of any human would often calm my (emotional) mother down. Only Jane had that ability. I sometimes talked with Jane on the phone about my mom's crazy behavior when dementia had began to affect my mother. Jane was a calming voice.
It's hard to write this without having tears in my eyes. I've known Jane my entire life.She was like an aunt to me, and always offered a calm voice. I can hear her voice in my head and see her smile. I'll hold on to that for the rest of my life. Although she was my mother's best friend, Jane was also MY friend and I love her, too. I'll miss you in the physical world, Jane, and I thank you for everything you've ever done for my mom, my family and for me. You are a light for all of humanity and continue to shine from the other side. NEXT: Jane Gave me an Incredible Sign from the Other side

This past Sunday, April 5, I posted a blog about the importance of praying at home, and NOT going to churches where you will infect people with the deadly Coronavirus (COVID19).
A pastor who defied that lesson and paid the price with his life from the virus and is now regretting it on the other side. He's also sorry for acting foolish and endangering the lives of many others. But it's TOO LATE. Spirits want us to learn our lessons when we're ALIVE, not after we die. As I mention in several of my books, spirits want us to take care of ourselves AND treat others as we would like to be treated (which means not infecting them with a deadly disease).
Spirits also want us to understand that you can pray or meditate from anywhere in the world. You can connect to god, whether Hindi, Christian, Jewish, or any other faith - from your own space. Spirits have seen this kind of contagion through time, and people did the right thing (distancing, sheltering and respecting each other) to get through it. Those who do not and are selfish may pay the ultimate price with their lives, as this pastor did.
Listen to spirit. Care for yourself and others- keep everyone safe. Don't be selfish, or you could be joining spirit sooner than you should, and causing the suffering and death of others.

BBC News reported on Monday, April 5, that a Louisiana Pastor who claimed that Coronavirus was a "Hoax perpetrated by the Democratic party to hurt President Trump" (quoted from the President himself and Fox News), died of the virus. THIS should be a lesson to those who listen to people who are not scientists and doctors. Here's the story> ;
Coronavirus: Pastor who decried 'hysteria' dies after attending Mardi Gras
Image copyrightCOURTESY OF FAMILYImage captionLandon with his wife and four daughters
Pastor Landon Spradlin wasn't worried about coronavirus when he went to New Orleans to preach during Mardi Gras. A month later he was dead.
"He loved to laugh. He loved to play guitar. He played guitar even when he wasn't supposed to," says Jesse Spradlin of her father, Landon.
"He was just the best man in the world."
One day when this is all over, the wife and five children of Pastor Landon Spradlin hope to hold a large celebratory memorial for him.
For now they have had to make do with a funeral at which there were just a handful in attendance, including the blues guitarist who played at the graveside.
A little over a month ago, Pastor Spradlin, who was 66, drove with his wife Jean the 900 miles (1500 km) from their home in Virginia to Louisiana for Mardi Gras.
He viewed the festivities as an opportunity, through music, to save the souls of some of the hundreds of thousands of people that would attend.
He was joined by two of his daughters who came over from Texas.
"His mission was to go into pubs, clubs and bars, play the blues and connect with musicians and just tell them that Jesus loved them," says Jesse Spradlin, 28.

"Mardi Gras is like Times Square in New York during New Year's Eve. It's a sea of people just drinking and partying," she says. "He was loud and laughing and in his element."
Over recent years Pastor Spradlin had realised a dream of using the preaching he had honed in churches across three states and taking it to the streets through the medium he loved.
He had been playing instruments since the age of four and in 2016 was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, but it was religion that he felt had saved him from alcoholism and drug addiction in his twenties.
Those dark years are why he now had a particular affinity for those who felt down and out, something he could relate to.
At Mardi Gras, the family band played in New Orleans' busy Jackson Square, unaware of the threat they faced.
"I don't even remember us talking about the virus," says Naomi Spradlin, 26. "With what's happened we keep looking back, and we didn't talk about it once."
They were not the only ones. Even though it had been more than a month since the first coronavirus case in the US, Mardi Gras went on as planned.

Officials in the city now blame government inaction for what appears to have been a large spike in cases that followed.
Pastor Spradlin was one of those who became ill, but tested negative for Covid-19. Even as he was sick, he posted on social media about "hysteria" surrounding the virus.
On the 13th of March Pastor Spradlin shared on Facebook a misleading post comparing swine flu and coronavirus deaths.
It suggested that Barack Obama and Donald Trump respectively had been treated very differently by the media and that it was a politically motivated ploy to harm President Trump.
Earlier the very same day, the president himself had insinuated something very similar at a news conference.
Media captionHow Trump's attitude toward coronavirus has shifted
Pastor Spradlin's son, Landon Isaac, 32, told me that he and his father had talked and agreed about what they felt was an irrational frenzy and fear mongering about the virus, perhaps because it was an election year.
"I want to say outright though, dad didn't think it was a hoax, he knew it was a real virus," says Landon Isaac.
"But he did put up that post because he was frustrated that the media was propagating fear as the main mode of communication," he told me.
By mid-March though, Pastor Spradlin's health suddenly took a turn for the worse. He and his wife decided to make the long drive back from New Orleans to their home in Virginia.
"I spoke to him five minutes before he collapsed in North Carolina," says Landon Isaac.
"I could tell his breathing was getting bad. And I just said that you've got to get home. But he didn't make it."
Image copyrightCOURTESY OF FAMILYImage captionPastor Spradlin's funeral had only a handful of guests and no immediate family
Pastor Spradlin was taken to hospital in North Carolina where they discovered he had developed pneumonia in both lungs and he now also tested positive for the coronavirus.
After eight days in intensive care, Pastor Spradlin died.
"It's a lot like Dad was our support column and somebody kicked out that support column. It feels like the roof is falling down on all of our heads right now," says Landon Isaac.
For days, he and his four siblings had to communicate with their mother through the glass door of her home. The funeral that has just taken place happened the day after Jean Spradlin's quarantine finally ended.
"We just never thought our father would pass away because of this. But he wasn't the type of person to just live in fear and let it rob him of the joy of the life that he had," says Jesse Spradlin.
The UK Telegraph and Argus news ran a series about the
United Kingdom's most haunted highways, and in this blog you'll learn
about a few of them and their resident ghosts. This is the 4th of
4 blogs about the UK Highways (By Will Kilner)! 10. A3 near Burpham, Surrey In December 2002, Surrey Police investigated reports of a car seen swerving off the A3 near Burpham.
They eventually found a car in a ditch containing the remains of a
driver, but the motorist had perished some five months previously! This
lead to speculation that the sighting had been a ghostly re-enactment of
the crash which killed him.
11. Cock Lane, near the Old Bailey in London While drivers may not necessarily experience anything on the road, one
of the houses is said to be haunted by the ghosts of two women who died
in the residence back in the 1760s, so many believe you can still hear
strange noises and screams as you travel past.

Last week I received an email from a woman whose loved one passed away and services
are not currently allowed because of the ongoing pandemic. Since I'm a medium, she wanted to know my thoughts and the thoughts of spirit. Well, spirits of our loved ones have an important message.
Today's blog is a message for those who attend churches, or lose loved ones during this worldwide killer virus.
ABOUT THE VIRUS: This virus has already killed many people and can kill millions more. The pandemic of 1918 killed 500 MILLION people, and this can do the same, unless you act responsibly and unselfishly now and stay home. BTW, doctors describe COVID19 as filling up lungs like wet sponge with fluid, and people gasp for air. That's why ventilators are needed to push air into lungs. Without them you essentially drown in a hospital bed, AND what's worse, is that your loved ones CANNOT VISIT you. THE EMAIL AND MY RESPONSE: The email I received said, "Due to COVID19 (Coronavirus) there will be no wake / funeral for my loved one. Some of my relatives are quite upset.
Wow. Yeah, that is the new norm this year."
My Message: Although they are upset they can't have a ceremony to "say goodbye" to your loved one, the ceremony is just for the living. The spirit of your loved one has already crossed over and is now urging all her friends and relatives (including you) to stay home and stay safe from this virus.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HONOR SOMEONE:
Her friends and relatives should do something from their own home in her honor, whether planting a tree, baking something, praying to her in a silent corner of the house, talk about good memories. The best thing you can do to honor your lost loved ones is to PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS. After all, Spirits want us to live full and healthy lives.
CAUTIONS FROM SPIRIT:
So, please tell people NOT to attend church services, where they will spread the virus and kill countless others. Churches don't have "magical protections." Spirits want us to use our heads and listen to the medical professionals. This is also not a disease of the elderly or infirm. People from infants to 20 and 30 somethings to seniors have passed, and many were healthy. Spirits of our loved ones want us to be smart and to live our lives. To disregard the medical science and advice will only kill other innocent people - and those lives lost will be on those who disregard the experts. Be safe, Be Smart. Stay at home. Don't go to churches, beaches, parks, or events. No one wants to die early. .. and don't put others lives in jeopardy because of your selfishness.
