My last conversation with Jeannette was short. She cried in pain but had asked me to put lipstick on her lips because her children were coming to see her. The pain medications made her drift in and out of sleep. Even in her sleep she was in pain. It was very hot on that August day of 2009 so I got a hand towel and wet it and put it on her face to cool her down. I did everything that I could do for her. I cried as I watched her moaning in pain. Her skin was pale and she had no makeup except the lipstick but she still looked so beautiful.
I shall always remember that.
