Auntie Jewel would tell me this story every couple years or so about how when she was watching me as a baby I was in a stroller and we were in a grocery store
this lady comes up to her and says whose baby is that
that´s not your baby that baby is too white to be your baby and in 100% Jewel fashion she said ask your husband who´s baby it is ....I´m gonna miss you, auntie
Thank you for being awesome

Chris, our sincere condolences to you and your family as you celebrate the life and memories of your beloved mother...oh how I love your mom and will surely miss our laughs and conversations. I loved how she said what she meant and meant what she said, and how she loved with her whole heart. She´s home now and my prayers for you and your children are for the love of God and the years of memories to give you peace and joy every time you think of her. Lord knows she loved her son and grandchildren and she was very proud of you all. "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted".
Sincerely,
Russell and Andrea Yvette Allen
