FUNERAL ORATION Colonel Jack Kingston
Lillienfeld Monastery Cemetery – 16 August 2014
Orchestra - Mozart’s Requiem
MUSIC - LARAS' THEME ZHIVAGO
MY HEARTFELT WELCOME TO YOU ALL –
I WISH JANNETTA COULD SEE THIS AND ALL OF YOUOUR BELOVED JANNETTA LIES HERE IN SWEET REPOSE - AS SHE LIVED
THE EPITOME OF COURAGE, OF FAITH IN HERSELF, OF A LOVE FOR THE WORLD AND FOR HER ROLE IN IT
SHE APPEARS HERE AS SHE SAW HERSELF IN HER LAST DREAM - ALL WHITE ROSES AND ANGELS WITH WINGS ON HER FEET - DANCING ON CLOUDS IN THE SUNSHINE
SHE WAS AND REMAINS A COMBINATION OF SEVERAL SACRED ICONS: - REGINA COELI - JOAN DE ARC - KATHERINE THE GREAT
MY VIKING PRINCESS…
MUSIC – SOMEWHERE MY LOVE - THEME ZHIVAGO
We are here to commemorate a wonderful child of God, a perfect Lady, a Colonel's dutiful wife, a horsewoman, a superb national gymnastics champion, a homemaker, an executive banker, a diplomat, and best of all - a real mensch - that was her fantastic life.
From 1987 to 2014 our years together spanned 4 decades of travel, work and residences in more than 40 nations and 33 American States - on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. We shared 9,855 days and nights and enjoyed 19,890 meals together.
We crossed the Atlantic no less than 13 times together and sailed on the Atlantic, Pacific, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, Mediterranean, Adriatic and Ionian seas - as well as the Danube, Rhein, Volga, Nile, Hudson, Cooper, Ashley, Potomac, Delaware and Colorado Rivers.
Our favorite cities and residences were; Vienna, Dubrovnik, Sarajevo, Budapest, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Volgograd, Venice, Berchtesgarden, Garmisch, Salzburg, Charleston, Washington, Dallas, San Antonio, San Diego, Santa Monica, Miami, Barcelona, Granada, Monaco, Bern, Geneva, Heidelberg, Paris, London and Edinburgh.
In the beginning we were both born to German parents - me in Leoben, Austria - she in Kazahkstan USSR. We met in Vienna, fell in love in an instant, married immediately and always knew we would return here as our ancient cultural home and last station.
In the end, she was proud to be an American citizen - with a practical Teutonic mind in a powerful German body - all energized by a passionate Russian Soul.
An absolutely, unforgettable – unmistakably, unique character.
Many of you know that as a professor of religion, military history and geopolitics I have spent many years and thousands of hours in universities, libraries, archives, monasteries, cemeteries and archaeological sites worldwide researching, studying, lecturing and writing about arcane, contemplative, ideological and esoteric concepts, secret knowledge and profound theories.
Luckily for me - my Jannetta had no interest in such speculative pursuits other than to always lend an ear, a rational word and her strong support for my life’s work. In contrast - she was totally practical, economically functional and realistic about the demands of day-to-day life.
Thank God for that dichotomy and synergy – we were a perfect team.
Some people love to love, others love to hate, others hate to love, and some hate to hate.
Jannetta loved and never hated.
In all our years, I never saw her lose her temper, lose her composure or harm anyone.
She loved people, animals, nature, mountains, trees and flowers - and she was for me the most beautiful rose in the miraculous garden of our lives together.
This whole terrible, initially seemingly insignificant episode, only lasted 10 months - since Oct 2013 – when we discovered a pea-sized 1.8 cm breast tumor in her armpit which was surgically excised in November with a prognosis of a 98% full recovery in 5 years, we were sure we had it eradicated just as we had always handled other problems – with 100% teamwork.
Then in May she developed back pains which seemed muscular only - but on the 4th of July we had a terrible shock - the cancer had spread to her spine which is almost always fatal within one year - we worked hard for a miracle for 4 weeks and it seemed that she would be the miracle.
Our astonished medical team enthusiastically planned for her long-term recovery at home - we were ecstatic.
But then - in only 5 days at the end of July she faded very fast - the only saving grace was that we were together in peace and harmony every day – we enjoyed the hospital gardens in the summer sun with our German Shepherd Stefi by her side for those 5 weeks.
We were able to reminisce and console each other and express our love unconditionally and make peace with each other without reservation.
Then in a tragic downturn she died peacefully on Sunday evening the 3rd of August while sleeping in my arms – with the prayers of our dearest friends Maria and Hans Steinbacher in her ears.
In all those years - she had tears for me and for her mother Nina - but never for herself not even now.
Her courage, her willpower, her noble conduct in the face of certain death amazed and humbled me in a way that no man has done on any battlefield or conflict zone in all my years as a combat arms soldier and pilot.
TWO LOVE SONGS THAT WE SHARED WHICH EXPRESS OUR SENTIMENTS
MUSIC - LET IT BE ME - ELVISMUSIC - I WILL NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU – THE SEEKERS
In those bitter-sweet melodies, ring the truths of our relationship and the reality of my fate from here on out. My loyalty and eternal love has engraved her soul on my heart in a way that will preclude any woman from replacing or displacing her - there cannot and never will be another Mrs. Kingston.
Remarkably, she never expressed nor suffered from jealousy for any reason - she admired beauty, wealth, success, talent and charisma in others - although she was often the most abundant in all of these.
The joy of her life was to be able to just live - which she did without reservation, without fear, without anger and without any doubt that she was perfectly happy just to be herself.
In the last days - she told me firmly, “You have to be strong now” - but alas, she was my strength.
During my missions in faraway lands - my home was always where she was and now her home will always be where I am.
She was my wife, my most sensuous lover, my best friend, my barber, the mother to our many pets, my business partner and my most astute banker, in summary - my best and wisest adviser in all things.
There are reputed to be three ways to something; the RIGHT way, the WRONG way and your OWN way. In Jannetta’s way she was usually quite right – she often took me by then hand like a little boy and schooled me patiently and firmly like a mother – “This is how you do this.”
To be sure, I was the father she never knew – because he too died far too young; I taught her how to drive, how to cook, how to sail, how to ride a horse and how to travel the world in style and safety - as linguists we shared several languages but did not need to talk to communicate perfectly.
It torments me that I saved her life no less than 4 or 5 times but could not save her this last tragic time - but at least we were both certain that we would meet the end together - and that her soul is now in me and mine is in her forever.
The reaction to her death by everyone who knew her at any level is the best tribute to her: visible emotional shock, then disbelief – they stutter “this cannot be true, and then they utter a refusal – “this must not be true.”
A wonderful testament and epitaph if you can earn it honestly like she did.
It never occurred to us that Jannetta would precede me – all of our plans and expectations were based on the likelihood that this would and should have been me – any one of my military-police missions to Korea, Panama, the Middle East, Bosnia, Kosovo, Kenya or Sudan – could have resulted in terrible wounds, permanent disability or death.I nursed her with those thoughts in mind and she lauded me as her best nurse.
It pains me that in the pursuit of unattainable perfection in a thousand trivial and mundane daily tasks - all of which which of course resulted in unnecessary frustration, distraction and confusion - that Jannetta and I (and most especially me) - failed to recognize the danger to our most valuable and beloved asset – her health and precious life.Relying on her almost perfect genetic embodiment and her incredible strengths we irrevocably damaged and permanently lost the one most perfect thing in our lives - her life.
MUSIC - NANA MOSKOURI - A PLACE IN THE SUN
Now although we worked hard these past few years for our place in the sun - The Kingston Ranch - I am terribly, terribly alone and in a strange twist of fate my works will be more celebrated now...seeded, tempered and seasoned as they will be with my tears and profound sorrow - and her grace.
When I mentioned to her that I might sell The Ranch and move away from these now too sad memories – she calmly but firmly ordered me, "No you stay and finish your life’s work.” When I asked her, “And what about your life?” She said, You were my life’s work.” Yet more selfless, noble courage. Amen.
When I read this tribute to her - Jannetta was very happy that she would be the main heroine and the last chapter in my book - "The Wheel of Fortune: The True Story of a Man's Search for Love, How he Found It, How He Lost It and
How It saved Him. That Chapter Title is "REGINA COELI" - The Queen of Heaven.
In the hour immediately preceding her death the Heavens did indeed seem to revolt with a terrific hail, rain and wind thunderstorm - and then within an hour following her passing a fantastic series of rainbows arched tranquilly over our mountain Ranch - Heaven appeared to be showing her the way through the clouds with a cross of bright light and a golden staircase. Lest I may be accused of melodrama or hallucinating - our astonished and bereaved neighbors captured and captioned these scenes for me as Jannetta's "Stairway to Heaven."
FINAL PRAYERS – HANS STEINBACHER
HAIL MARY
OUR FATHER
FINAL HYMN – MARIA STEINBACHER
Thank you all for coming or for sending messages from faraway places - thank you for loving Jannetta, for sharing our lives with us and for honoring her with your prayers, condolences, sympathy, gifts and presence - and for everything you have been for me over the years and are now.
