I am so saddened to hear of Aunt Jewel’s passing. I remember the good ole days as a young child we would all meet at Nanny’s house in Mansfield, Missouri to visit and spend the day. Myself, David, Lance, Deanna, Gail and Dawn would play while the adults visited. I remember Aunt Jewell’s laughter and smile at those visits. In later days as we children all grew up, Jewell and my Mama (Rachel) would visit on the phone for hours. Mama would absolutely love those visits and would talk about them often. My heart goes out to Gail, Dawn, her Son In Laws, her grandchildren, and all those who love and miss her. She was a wonderful Christian example to me in many ways. Such a blessing to this world.
