The “Jewell” of My Life

That would be my Mom ….. Emma Jewell Walton

Her name was like her …. a precious jewel

So kind

So caring

So concerned

Always thinking of others instead of herself.

Like a jewel, she sparkled and lit up when her loved ones were near

We were so lucky to have had her for our mother, sister, grandma, aunt and friend.

As a beautiful jewel, she will be treasured and remembered in our hearts and will always be a part of our lives as we recall our special memories.

I will always love you, Mom

You will always be the “Jewell”of my life.
