Not sure what to say?

Jolene and I were friends during our elementary years at Bluebonnet School in Fort Worth, and we had many happy times visiting each other and doing things together around town. I recall her family, especially her mother, "Eena," who was always sweet to us. We also had a great time at her aunt's hotel. All of us who knew Jolene then will recall that she was a beautiful, intelligent, child who was always looking for a new adventure. Rest in peace, my childhood friend.

To all of Jolene's family my heartfelt condolences. Jolene and I shared so many
fun wild and serious times. I will never forget them or her.RIP my dear friend.

I knew Jolene through our mutual love of horses and we rode together frequently. She had a joyous smile that one never forgets and her boundless energy for whatever she was doing was amazing. Jane Haltom Cote

Fond memories of our junior hi and senior hi days at your house on Bellaire Dr. It seems now when one of us departs we reflect back on the good times we had together. Funny how that works. You will be missed.Steve Toby

If you had the pleasure of meeting Jolene you would never forget her. I met Jolene at McLean Junior High and we became close friends and remained friends for all these years. Jolene always had a smile for you and she was so kind and giving. She touched the lives of many people through the years. I know Jolene is resting in peace now and she passed feeling all the love shown to her by her children. She loved you with all her heart and she was so proud of you. You will always have her with you...

I am so sorry for he loss of Jolene. She was her own person and enjoyed most of her life. It is refreshing to see the love of her family and her friends. Bless this family. Judy Clampitt Davis

I met Jolene many years ago when she worked in Nashville and soon learned she was one of the kindest and sweetest women ever. Cute, smart and friendly, it's no wonder she left her mark on all the projects she began and on all who were privileged to know her. Though all of us are saddened by her earthly departure, Heaven must be a happier place for her arrival.

I knew Jolene as kids when she would come to Glen Rose to visit her Grandmother who owned the local hotel. We spent a lot of time playing in the hotel. i saw Jolene a few years ago, but did not know of her illness. She is now healed in the arms of our Lord.
