Uncle Red Ba and I are really sorry to hear that Aunt Jewel passed away. You two have always been our favoriate. I loved Aunt Jewel so much and have always considered you two more of a second Mom and Dad. My mind races though the thousands of memories that you both placed in my mind and will never ever forget you for those fond memories. And Ba always knew that she would listen to her problems and views just as Mother did. We will always love you and never forget her. Martin, Ba and Family

We are so sorry to hear about your sweet mom. I know how much you all will miss her. I was glad I got to meet her as well as your dad. Wish we could be with you at the service but you know why. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and that you would find a peace. Hug your dad.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Esther Jewell was loved by so many. She was so loving and kind and had a special Spirit of compassion. Our family was blessed to have known her.
Our Mom, Billie Jean Tindall and our late step-dad Arnold loved her dearly. We pray that God will give you an extra measure of grace as you go through this time of sorrow.
Brenda Black, Patsy Bailey, and Billie Jean Tindall
