    Jewel was special to our family. In 1963, when our daughter was born while we were in Dallas, Jewel was very helpful in seeing that we had the best of care. She had to live in an incubator until her weight reached at least 5 lbs. Since we could not hold her during that time, we were encouraged to come back home and have Christmas with our daughter, Dana. Jewel checked in on Shannon often and sent reports back to us. A month to the day that she was born we returned to Dallas to bring Shannon Home. A real life experience. Thanks to Jewel the experience became easier.

    She was so proud of her family and you were so good and attentive to her.
