I met Jeanette several times ( in New York City and the other in Boca Raton)  a number of years ago when I wanted to know and meet my father( her husband Joszef). Jeanette was absolutely wonderful in these unusual set of circumstances. She was a very gracious hostess and was the go between my father and I. In fact, after staying 2 weeks  in their Boca Raton home, I came to respect and adore her. We spent most of the time together without my father wanting to join us. At the end of those fantastic 2 weeks,  I commented she was like my step-mother now.... she simply smiled.
Although my relationship with my father did not grow as I wanted, Jeannete and I grew close. We talked on the phone dozens of  times over the years and never for just a few minutes. I believe she was truly trying to just let me know that I was a part of their life.

As time went on, in the last years of her life, our phone calls decreased. She was not able to tell me that my father had passed away.... but when I did not get her usual once a year or so call, I did a search on the internet to learn she had passed away. I have reflected on my life upon hearing the news of the passing of a great woman.... and several years later, bold enough to write about my pain!

I miss you Jeanette.....
