Maybe "A day to celebrate Jessie"?

I think that this is a fantastic idea. It'd have to be coordinated, but it'd be a hell of a send-off if done properly.

Would any of you feel that perhaps maintaining five minutes of internet silence on the site at the time that the poor girl is laid to rest would be an appropriate mark of respect?

I've had the Prof as a facebook friend for a while now, and I never realised that his much-loved Nina was the beautiful naked dancing Jessie.
When things like this happen (and sadly it's the second time in six months I've heard such devastating news) I feel so useless, as I'm sure we all do.
I wish I knew Nina. I didn't, but I know from Kerry's facebookposts and all the responses above she must have been very special.
Love to Kerry and family - including one probably very confused puppy.

Would that there was something magical, healing or even right to say to Prof. Martin and Jessie/Nina's survivors. But I can only commiserate with how unfair it all seems, especially because judging from her profile, she seemed a remarkable woman, free of malice and full of life. And the world will be lesser for not having her continued contributions to it.
And the raccoons will surely notice their loss of her goodwill.

my love is gone she suffered long
in hours of pain
my love is gone
would it be wrong if I should
just turn my face away from the light
go with her tonight?

but this is the saddest thing I've ever read on a message board.
Condelences to all who knew her.

My sincere condolences for what it's worth to all those left behind. A tragic event to happen to someone who was very clearly a good, nice and funny person.

Didn't meet or know either jess or prof but my heart felt condolences to all who did. Horrible tragedy to occur and no amount of word will ever make it feel better.
Prof, i hope that the number of people who have posted on here shows what a lovely, special person she was, looks like she made a special place in evryone who knew hers heart.. You should be very proud... doesn't help much at the moment, but its something to think on later... my sincere heartfelt condolences, I lost my sister recently and have a kind of idea of what you must be feeling.

The posts on here have been a big help actually, I'm very comforted to see that so many people have had nice things to say about her. It seems that everyone who met her loved her - I feel very lucky and honoured that out of all those people she chose to be with me

I always hoped I would.

I haven't been on here much in the past few years, but when I was a fairly regular boarder, I was very aware of Jessie. Not that we were friends, but this sort of environment, and the sense of community it brings, means that it feels like someone who you share a few words with, and see commenting on a regular basis, becomes a small part of your life.

Wish I'd made it to the last Derby bash now - Jessie was one of the first people to welcome me on b3ta, so was Kerry and I associate a lot of my fondest board and bash memories with them both. My thoughts are with Kerry and Nina's family and friends. What a lovely lovely lady to have known.

Jessie rates very very highly in Blackmoon's list of lovely people. How this can happen to somebody so young, beautiful, cheerful, friendly and above all so bloody special is just so wrong. I went to Jessie's bash in Derby two or three years ago, (Maybe ten) and this was the only time I met her, but that one evening and next morning I spent with her was enough for me to know she was truly one of a kind. Not a bad word for anybody.
I hadn't eaten much on the day of the bash, and an empty stomach coupled with a few beers made me rather ill. Jessie looked after me, holding my hand- holding me up! Next morning she made me the most wonderful cup of coffee from fresh beans in that awfully noisy machine of hers. I'll always remember that coffee just like I'll always remember Nina. xxx
All the best to Kerry, friends, relatives....

I don't hang around the boards much and hardly ever post. Can someone describe what Nina meant to the boards? And post a link to her contributions if possible. It's obvious she was important to B3ta but I'm clueless as to the (obviously justified) reason for that.

I'm honored that I'm mentioned in there- always have been.
The reason for the multitude of posts is that Jessie was just a wonderful human being. Simple as. She took time to be friendly to everyone. When you had a disagreement on the board, she wouldn't just fly off the handle and throw you abuse, she'd discuss it in a sensible manner.
Also, her spelling, punctuation, capitalization and grammar was perfect. That's a big plus in my book.

I wish I wasn't emerging from semi-retirement under such circumstances, but Jessie will be greatly missed by this Doctor.
She was there when I attended my first ever Bash, which I guess must be about five or six years ago. As you all know, I'm a shy and retiring kinda guy. I wandered into the James Brindley, looking for a bunch of Internet Geeks. They were easy to spot and turned out to be some of the acest people ever. Jess was amongst the first to welcome me to the "real world" B3tards, and introduced me to many people who would become good friends.
The B3ta "digital media arts community" (that's how I describe it to my mum) have been a wonderful bunch, and I've made some firm friends (oo-er)... and I'm happy to remember Jess as one of the very first, representing all that's good about "the internet bringing people together". Sounds like cheesy Microsoft marketing blurb, but it's true.
I've made some great friends online, and Jess is an example of all that's lovely: She was warm, caring, friendly, had a great collection of sexy boots, and will always be remembered by all that knew her.
Miss you Jess, but I know we'll always raise a glass or two wherever your friends get together, and you'll never be forgotten.

"When your out in the sea,
something gnaws at your knee
that's a moray.
When your swimming at pace,
and an eel bites your face
thats a moray."
