Jewell was a good man. It is rare to know someone with his qualities. I learned some valuable lessons from him by way of example in business. I will miss seeing him when I stop in Mtn. View.

Dear Connie and family,
I' m so sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel as I have lost both of my parents; my Dad being the hardest to get over because I was definately a Daddy's girl. I remember my Dad speaking of growing up with Jewel and the good times they had as boys. Just lean on God and your friends and you will make it. Know that I'm always available if you need or want to talk. May God bless you.

Dear Jane, We have certainly lost a good one. My family considered Jewel to be a very wonderful friend. He sold the Brewer family plenty of cars in his time, he was always fair and wanted to see you come back and buy another one. My siblings remember him as a youngster; I just remember him always being at Lackey's. Strange how our paths have crossed since our days at Tech; hard to believe we knew each other vaguely and then became not only coworkers but friends. God bless all of you, and I will see you soon.

My sincere sympathies to the Shipman family. I work with David at Nettleton Junior High and think the world of him as both a principal and as a friend. I know his Dad must have been proud of him. Please know that we are thinking of your family during your time of loss.

To the Family:
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to each of you.
May the words of Christ Jesus be of comfort to you in which he promises that the day is soon to come in which all those in the memorial tombs (graves) will hear his voice and come out. (John 5:28,29)
Revelation 21:3-5 gives us a very optimistic outlook for the future. For here our Creator assures us that he is going to wipe away the tears of sorrow from our eyes forever and death will be no more.
