Gone but not forgotten, missed and sad for your loss. Memories will help to ease the sorrow of your passing.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

My deepest sympathy to the Ferris and Yacobi family. I am saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Yacobi, I am very greatful for the months I had working with Mrs. Yacobi for Alway's Best Care Senior Services. She was a caTo the Ferris and Yacobi family. I am very greatful of the months I had working with Mrs. Yacobi with Alway's Best Care Senior Services. She was a beautiful, caring, warm and a loving person! I am deeply sorry for your loss, prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Russell Ferris, Jr and family, I'm so sorry to hear of Jeanette's passing. I remember our days as neighbors on Fox Hill Road. She was always a joy to be around. Sending my sympathy and prayers.

Jeanette was the best neighbor anyone could possibly have and both Steve and I will miss her. There is now an empty space in our hearts, but beautiful memories still remain....

We wish to express our deepest sympathy to the Farris family on their loss of Jeanette, and our loss of a wonder aunt. Jeanette will be greatly missed. We were blessed to have in our lives.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Yacobi. She was a pleasure to work with and I was so sad when I heard she was no longer a client of ABCSS. My heart is heavy with hearing about her passing. I hope you all find peace during this difficult time.

Beth, what a beautiful tribute to Jeanette, your stepmother.  I too, will remember how much she enjoyed seeing all you kids and grandchildren.  I especially enjoyed seeing how much my brother adored her.  He just would light up every time she walked into the room.

I enjoyed my visits with them so much and I, also, would tease her about how she fed those dogs...it was a sight to behold.

My condolences to you and your family and my other nieces and nephews.  I know it will leave a big void in your hearts.  

To the Ferris Family, I want you to know how much I admired Jeanette.  To come from a small family and then marry into this family can be quite daunting, to say the least.  But, she handled with grace and poise, and always, a lot of laughter...a necessity in this family.

She was a gentle lady, a giving sole, a wonderful sister and sister-in-law, wife and stepmother.  I am so sorry for your loss. She will be truly missed.

My wish is for peace and blessings to Jeanette.  And, my blessings to the Ferris family and my wish that they feel the peace and love that Jeanette brought to all of the Yacobi family.

Jeanette was an amazing wife to my father, friend and step-mother to me and grandmother to my children.  She did her best to bring happiness and love to all of us. For me, she filled a void that I didn't know existed. My memories of her will be filled with my father's laughter, his romantic gestures and charm she incited from him, her feeding her dogs better than herself;  and us endlessly teasing her about it, many shopping trips and lunches, days at the spa and trying to figure out the video games the boys would show her.   She was always their cheerleader and believed in them and my ability to raise them well.  She never hesitated to be generous and she never hesitated to always listen and be there when I needed her.  To us she was Netters, and she was so very special, and will be missed immeasurably.  I feel lucky that she became part of our family and she always will be.

"You must remember, family is often born of blood, but it doesn't depend on blood. Nor is it exclusive of friendship. Family members can be your best friends, you know. And best friends, whether or not they are related to you, can be your family."
