Sharon, Gary & Nancy,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. The thought, though, of our Dad & your Dad cracking jokes & making my Mom & your Mom laugh brings a smile to our lips. My sisters and I just talked about trying to get our parents to behave in shul - usually, it's the other way around. So many funny memories.
Please know that our thoughts are with you & your family.
All our love,
Nancy, Geri, & Suzi, and all of our etcs.

Sharon,
I am truly sorry for the loss of your mother. I believe it was last passover that I celebrated with nearby friends and being surprised to meet Jewel (again) at the sedar....she had a delightful smile and that twinkle in her eye. Next time Deneb and I see you in Pikesville, I have a gi-nourmous hug waiting for you.
With Love,

Dear cousins Gary and Sharon,

Every Shabbat I wear the Tallit clips of your father and I remember the moment your mother gave them to me. Now to I will remember your mother - always. She was a MOST wonderful, kind and loving person - a real Jewel in our lives.

How often do any of us come to even know, much less love, the mother-in-law of an old friend? One who lives states away, no less. But Jewel's very, very rare gift for offering an immediate sense of belonging and reflexive affection to any of us who love her kids (and very likely, to any of us at all) could incite no other possible response. Gary, Sharon, Nancy--and other family and close friends I've not met--We know too well by now that there is nothing to be said so soon. I wish I were there; please know that I am, in spirit. But I will put in writing my gratitude to Jewel for reminding me of what really matters. Her loving warmth leaves a legacy that echoes well beyond "great accomplishments" or other markers our culture uses to measure worth these days. There is much of her in you and that is a blessed thing. Thank you for sharing her with me. I love you dearly, Lindy.

We saw her last at the "Sole Proprietor" in Worcester with her daughter celebrating an aunt's birthday.She was the same "Jewel" that I remember. Peter and I send our condolences.

Jewel was the most understanding and loving human being, forgiving of others faults, and loving them as individuals.

Jewel will be dearly missed.

Dear Sharon, Gary & Nancy,

Our friendship with your parents lasted for many years (a lifetime for some). They were both amazing and your Mom extra special. We know this is a difficult time for all of you. May the wonderful memories of your parents sustain you through this difficult time and the love and friendship of others help you.
Remember your Mom's sense of humor and smile for her.
Love
Betty & Eli
