The following comment from Alon Nashman, Yetta's eldest son, speaks volumes about Yetta's impact: "When I was looking for a life partner Mom offered the following wisdom: 'Under-emphasize physical beauty, wealth, intelligence and achievement; and seek out the person who makes you love yourself.' I assume that so many people from so many facets of her life have told me 'I love your mother,' or even 'I wish she was my mother,' because Yetta made them love themselves when they were with her.
