Sorry to hear about your neighbor.

One thing I learned when placing a vehicle on jack stands is to leave the jack under it but down about 1/2 inch. without anyone under the car, stand next to it and shake it back and forth. This will settle the vehicle on the stands and if it's going to fall off, it will do so before you go underneath it.
