My siblings & I grew up in England in the '40's & 50's & I knew Jewel Marie & Van in high school, and looked up to them, as they were a little older than we were. We attended church together for many years. I loved her Mom, Jewel, & Dad, Nolan. I didn't know her children, but please know you're all in my family's thoughts and prayers.
My deepest sympathy for the family and friends of Mrs. Jewel Marie. I know she and my sister Helen are in heaven having a great time. She will be truly missed by all who knew her.
