My heart is broken 💔
Network Marketing will never be the same.
I feel sick to my stomach with shock and devastion to find out that the beautiful Jessie Lee Ward passed away today.
I chose this photo in particular because having followed JL for 6 years, I’ve never seen her so happy than since she met Avi. I’m devasted your love story didn’t last longer. I’m devasted you didn’t get your happy ending. I’m sorry your life was cut far too short and that you’ve been taken far too soon 😇
I hope you realise that the legacy you worked so hard to create…is everlasting. You did it. You inspired men and woman all over the world.
I’m just so sorry you didn’t get to enjoy it much longer. You deserved more 🫶
Rest in Paradise Jessie Lee. Sending love and healing to all her friends and family 😭

Laurie Price pay tribute to Jessie Lee Ward a.k.a “Boss Lee” by stating,
The news a few hours ago hit me hard. I’ve been following Jessie Lee for years. I remember when she started with Pruvit (the ketones). She said she was going to go live every day, so I’d watch her every day. I listened to her podcasts. I listened when she was interviewed by others. No matter what my mood was she made me laugh.
She was diagnosed in March 2023 with stage 4 cancer. She went through a rough time. On September 5th, she reported that she was doing better, but yesterday I received news that she desperately needed prayers. I prayed. Hard. I steadily checked her social media for updates. Earlier this evening I received a message that she had passed away. My heart is broken. 💔
A network marketing legend is gone.
RIP, Jessie Lee Ward. You’ll be missed. You were such an inspiration to so many. Your energy is unmatched.
