It’s unbelievable that Jeannette Sandjong is no more!

Jeannette came to the US with a lot of determination to succeed, like most of us. Yes, she worked hard and even harder than some of us to meet her goals. Though she started her American odyssey as hair dresser, through her subsequent hard-work she eventually graduated with a Bachelors of Science degree as a nurse as well as a Registered Nurse (RN).

A very humble, caring and gregarious woman, as most of you who met her would testify. She would light up the room with her charm and wit. She fought the good fight with plenty of grace for the last couple of years, but the almighty decided otherwise. She left this world at 50, as she was not able to win the battle with a very aggressive lung cancer.

Jeannette leaves behind plenty of loving nephews, nieces and younger siblings, who were all her dependents. Her caring spirit, generosity and dynamism was boundless. We are at a loss trying to accept the passing of "Madame Kotinbanga" (as some affectionately named her). 

Jeannette was a believer in Christ Jesus. To God be the Glory.

C’est incroyable d’imaginer que Jeannette nous a quittés!

Cette humble dame avait pleine de considération aussi bien pour les membres de sa famille que les amis qu’elle aidait sans trop de retenue. Ardente et très énergétique, elle était très productive dans la société américaine ou elle a commencé comme coiffeuse. Apres une formation d’aide-soignante, elle est a décroché les diplômes d’infirmière, d’infirmière diplômée d’état, et enfin d’infirmière avec master.

Surtout, jeannette était une croyante en Jésus Christ.

Elle laisse derrière des frères et sœurs, des neveux et nièces dont elle prenait inlassablement soin comme ses propres enfants.
