Thank you to everyone who attended and participated. The video from Sam's celebration of life from May 22, 2017 is below:
EDIT: though this embeded video is nifty, I recommend clicking here to watch it directly on Facebook to get all the functions (pause, fast forward, volume control, etc.)
The stories start at 12:00!

Watch the Celebration of Life on Facebook Live
We'd love for you to join us in Madison to celebrate Sam, but we understand that not everyone will be able to travel. We'll be "broadcasting" the event on Facebook Live, so you can tune in starting at 10:00 am central time to participate from afar.
When you login, please sign the "digital guestbook!" Please add: your name(s), where you are watching from, and how you knew Sam. If your answer is, "through the blog" - that is fine! We're all a community.

Instructions for using Facebook Live
A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Watch Sam’s Memorial online
- Make sure you are logged in to Facebook. Don’t have a Facebook account? Can you talk to someone who does that can share their login info with you for the day? Make sure you have this figured out and you can log in BEFORE the start of the service at 10 AM Central Time.
- Head over to Jenny’s personal Facebook page. You can do this by typing ‘Jenny Weis’ into the search bar at the top of the page. You can also click here or copy and paste think link in a browser to go directly to Jenny’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=6851014
- Are you friends with Jenny on Facebook yet? If not, you totally should be. To do this, simply click the green +Add Friend button on Jenny’s page. Note: you do not need to be Jenny’s friend in order to watch the Facebook Live video – we will set up the video to public so everyone can tune in (but who doesn’t love new friends!?)
- Once you are on Jenny’s page, scroll down to see her first post. It should say ‘Jenny Weis is live now’ and have a red LIVE icon in the corner. It will look like this:
5. Click on the ‘Play’ symbol in the middle of the post. This will start the live video from the time that you are clicking ‘play.’ To make sure you see the event LIVE as it is happening, be sure to tune in by 10 AM Central Time.
6. Once your live video is playing, you will be able to see a few icons on the bottom of the video (see in picture below):

- You can click the gear shaped icon to adjust your video settings. If your video appears a little blurry or grainy, choose the highest number of pixels to have the best quality video (360p).
- Click on the arrows pointing out to view this video on the full screen of your device.
- Click the speaker icon to adjust your volume settings. Is the video playing but not making any sound? Click this speaker icon to make sure your volume is not on mute.
Not able to watch the video live at 10 AM Central Time? Don’t you worry! The Facebook live video will still remain on Jenny’s Facebook page after the memorial is over. Follow the same instructions above to watch, except the video will say ‘Jenny Weis was live.’
Note: If you try to watch the Facebook live video late, but it is still streaming live, you cannot rewind and watch the video from the beginning. If you want to watch from the start, simply wait until the live video has ended and posted onto Jenny’s Facebook wall. You will know it has ended when the post reads ‘Jenny Weis was live.’ It will look something like this:
