Crossing Over with John Edward - June 25, 2001 List | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
Katherine and Nancy, sitting together, segment is in black and white.

KH: I think the experience of being out there with John was…was, you know, really fascinating, and it makes you feel like you…you didn’t want it to end.

NH: (as Nancy talks, pictures are shown of Jason as a toddler with an older man, as a teenager [maybe a school picture], and as a toddler again, a posed picture with an older child, whose face isn’t shown) My son’s name is Jason, but we called him "Jay" a lot and "Jaybert." He was a wonderful person. Umm…he was very outgoing. He had hordes of…I…I said after his death that he was a "people collector." He was…he had social skills and personality to burn. He tormented her (Katherine laughs), held her by her feet over the banister, and I would find her screaming. (Nancy and Katherine both laugh)

JE (in clip from interview): Did you try to write either a…a book?

NH: (commenting) What actually happened was I had written this page to…this man, this reporter who was interested in the story. And my oldest son saw it and he said, "This is a book. You…" And he said, "I’ll break it down into the chapters, you need to write this book."

JE (in clip): They’re making me feel like…I need to talk about "Gone With The Wind."

KH: (commenting) The "Gone With The Wind" thing…I don’t…I don’t know exactly, unless he’s um… I think that was coming from my brother, but I don’t know if that was directed at you (looks at her mother) or…

NH: No, I…I don’t know either. Jason was very funny, so it might have a funny…I don’t know. We’re trying to work…figure it out. It is interesting when he says their energy is pulling away, you want…want him to...um…say, "No, stay! (laughs a little) Stay awhile."

(end of segment)

JE: (Commenting) Katherine’s mom Nancy told our producers that she had put off sitting and writing about the experience of losing her son. Hopefully with Jason’s encouragement, she’ll be able to write that book which could be so helpful to other parents who have loved and lost a child. We’re in the Gallery next.
