Aunt Jewel will always hold a special place in my heart. She was a tremendous blessing to Pam and I on numerous occassions as we sometimes struggled to make ends meet. My prayers go out to Richard, Candy, George, Angel, Mom, Uncle Carl, and Uncle Edward, and many other relatives. I can picture Aunt Jewel and Uncle Ted together again, having a good time in Heaven.
