I too have gone through the same and I know she wanted me to keep living each day with passion and keep living my life. I have a very, very dear friend of late that is having difficulty letting go of her late husband (7 years) passing and I hope she will read this and hopefully, one day, realize that what he would want is for her to move on and be happy but never forget. Steve G. Jeannette,

I'll miss him.

YOU were the perfect couple. I am so glad I got to know Charles over the last few years and he always made me smile--he truly cared about every person and made anyone he spoke to the 'center of the universe.' I'm so glad I was able to speak with him 2 weeks ago--and I'm thrilled to have you as a dear and wonderful friend. We will miss him at the concert next week--yet we will toast to his honor. Love, Andrea PS I'm sharing your wonderful post on my blog Dear Jeannette,

He recognized in her the drive, ambition, and the achievements and awards acknowledging her many contributions to her profession and society. I will especially miss Charles; he integrated our two families into one, and this was a very special gift to us all. Farewell, dear brother Charles gave my lovely sister, Jeannette, many years of love, devotion, and “hero worship” for all the marvelous things she did in her life.

I will especially miss Charles; he integrated our two families into one, and this was a very special gift to us all.

And, of course, we've been doubly fortunate to have had both of you in our lives for all these years. Everyone who spoke at Charles's memorial really captured his essence. That twinkle in his eye never faded -- even his last days. How lucky I feel to have shared that last Chinese take-out meal with you, Charles and our friend, Joann just two days before Charles slipped away. That was certainly one of those typical New York moments that provided a wonderful backdrop to Charles's life -- a life well-lived. As I write this it reminds me that the last meal I had with my own father was at a Chinese restaurant the night before he died. So, Charles obviously had good taste in food. He also had good taste in the books, the art, the music and the people he adored. So I'd like to say thank you to Charles for enriching my life, making me smile and being my friend. And I'd also like to say thank you to you, Jeannette, for the joy you bring to all of our lives. No wife could possibly have been more loving , devoted and caring to her mate. Charles was so fortunate to have married you; you were so fortunate to have married Charles...and everyone you both have touched are so fortunate that our lives have been brightened by both of you. Your loving friend, Mark Dear Jeannette –
