I had the great pleasure of knowing Jewel and her husband Bernie for many years. Her indomitable spirit was a driving force and her dedication to social justice causes and advocating for women around the world always left those she touched for the better. Her spunk, humor and courage will live on through her wonderful loving daughters Debbi and Gerry. May her memory be a blessing - she will be missed.
