Growing up with Jewel as my aunt was fun, exciting, and adventurous. She never lost that spirit. I loved her so much and will miss her even more. My heart is with Gerald, the boys, her grandchildren and Liam.

Absolutely one of my most favorite Aunts. Even with three boys of her own she would routinely take on two more with Parks and me. However, she could reek as much havoc alone as the five of us combined. Our hearts go out you you guys. She will definitely be missed.

Loved my aunt, my daddy's baby sister. She was a one-of-a-kind, fun-loving, up for adventure & a great storyteller. Our family will all miss her.
