Jeannette was everything to me. She was a good honest and compassionate person who in spite of having an ordeal battling the breast cancer she above all else showed so much compassion. I remember her being worried about her grandmother who was sick in the hospital. At that time I had both Jeannette and my mom in the hospital. One was in Ventura County and the other in Tulare County. One was battling cancer the other one a broken heart.
Compassion usually calls for a willingness to humbly spend oneself in obscurity on behalf of unknowns.....Truly compassionate people are often hard to understand. They take risks most people would never take. They give away what most people would cling to. They reach out and touch when most would hold back with folded arms. Their caring brings them up close where they feel the other person's pain and do whatever is necessary to demonstrate true concern. That is exactly how my Jeannette was. She drove hundreds of miles to see her grandmother on an extremely hot July day. She was in pain but that was on her back burner. She had compassion like no other.
What an Awesome daughter.
