Hi TuD Family,

I have a request for you. In 2008 the daughter of two dear friends of mine was killed in an act of domestic violence. Her parents have used this tragedy to help reduce domestic violence and violence against women.

Today, a video was released telling the story of Jana and her mission in life before it was cut short. Please if you can spare 9 minutes of your time, go to this site and see her story. It's a powerful message that life is finite and fragile, and not to waste what we have been given.

Thank you so much. I know Jana would be proud of the work that her parents are doing, and somewhere today she's smiling knowing that others are taking action against domestic violence.

It was tragic, but they're channeling that into some very positive work.

A powerful & moving video. Their work is the best tribute to their daughter. I'll forward Jana's Story on.

Thanks so much Gerri. It means a lot to me and to them.

Oh my goodness....one cannot begin to comprehend the loss of a child.....OVERWHELMING!!!
Christmas....what a difficult time of the year for Jana's family.
Thank you, Brett, for sharing this video.
