Proof

By Jointly Gaussian Families of Random Variables and Gaussian Processes it suffices to show that for every choice of finitely many distinct indices of the combined family, the tuple of corresponding members is a Gaussian random vector. Such a tuple is (Bj1,,Bjp,Vc1,,Vcq)(B_{j_1},\dots,B_{j_p},V_{c_1},\dots,V_{c_q}) with distinct jj's in JJ and distinct cc's in CC (pp or qq possibly 00, not both).

For each w{1,,q}w\in\{1,\dots,q\} choose finite affine combinations SnwS^{w}_n of members of (Bj)(B_j) with SnwVcw20\lVert S^{w}_n-V_{c_w}\rVert_2\to0, and for the BjvB_{j_v} take the constant sequences Sn0,v=BjvS^{0,v}_n=B_{j_v}. For fixed nn, choose finitely many distinct indices of JJ whose members include Bj1,,BjpB_{j_1},\dots,B_{j_p} and every member of (Bj)(B_j) occurring in Sn1,,SnqS^{1}_n,\dots,S^{q}_n; the corresponding tuple is a Gaussian random vector (Jointly Gaussian Families of Random Variables and Gaussian Processes), and

(Bj1,,Bjp,Sn1,,Snq)\bigl(B_{j_1},\dots,B_{j_p},S^{1}_n,\dots,S^{q}_n\bigr)

is its image under an affine map (each coordinate is a real constant plus a finite linear combination of coordinates; for the BjvB_{j_v} the constant is 00), hence a Gaussian random vector by Affine Transformations of Gaussian Random Vectors are Gaussian. As nn\to\infty the coordinates converge in mean square to those of (Bj1,,Bjp,Vc1,,Vcq)(B_{j_1},\dots,B_{j_p},V_{c_1},\dots,V_{c_q}) (constant in the first pp coordinates); the limit coordinates are square-integrable (the BjvB_{j_v} by Square-Integrability, Moments, and Covariance Matrix of a Gaussian Random Vector, the VcwV_{c_w} by hypothesis), so Mean-Square Limits of Gaussian Random Vectors are Gaussian shows the limit tuple is a Gaussian random vector. \blacksquare
