My mother, Jean Steinhart, died on the morning of May 3, 2007, at home in Wyncote, PA. My sister, Wendy Coleman, was at her bedside. I was at the Hilton Hotel in New York City at the time.
Jean lived a full life - 89 years. Her 90th birthday would have been last week, on July 28, 2007 (I'm finally getting around to posting this on August 3rd).
Wendy and I have heard from so many people since our mother died. It's been very heartwarming. We thought 40 or 50 friends would come to the memorial service a week after her death, but instead there were almost 100. More than 30 people have contributed to UNICEF in her memory, which means a lot to us because the work UNICEF does was very important to Jean.

Jean's life was a blessing for all of us, especially her children, her grandchildren, and her sister, Ellen Solomon. Ellen has now moved to Bethesda, Maryland to live with her older son, Dick, and his wife, Ann. [Photo, 1941]
