The roots of a plant will dig into the earth to find water and the leaves of a plant will shoot from its stem to meet the rays of the sun. That is life. Jeanne knows that those same forces exist in human life, where people are drawn to each and dig their toots into each other. The strength drawn from this togetherness and the desire for freedom to live and love can only be stopped by the reaper. In reality Jeanne has put herself in the position of a cupid facilitator as cupid sometimes falls asleep on the job. When I received Jeanne's call upon Deanna's death I was stunned. I was left numb. I did not shed a single tear, the water faucet took charge of that task. After we finished our conversation on the phone, I went back to the kitchen only to realize that the water faucet had been running. There was a puddle in the middle of the kitchen. So this was some sign in the style of Louis XV of France when he uttered : " Après moi, le déluge!" Maybe after all Deanna did have blue royal blood.

From Lisa: With thanks:Hi Sian,

This is an amazing story and fabulous documentary. I’ve just been watching it on my phone, so far. I plan to watch it on the larger screen of my laptop tomorrow. The cause of her death makes think of lots of ideas which would link promoting your film with my Different Strokes charity Lou of food for thought. Thanks for sharing her story and your documentary with me.

Best wishes, LisaBeaumont
