This site is dedicated to the memory of Carol Ann Jewels
Carol Ann Jewels was a beautiful person inside and out. She enjoyed her job as a 1st grade teacher and was deeply loved by her young students. She was a wonderful mother to her two children, Melissa and Brian and will always be remembered as a gentle spirit who left this world too soon.
Carol fought an aggressive cancer that began in her kidney and spread into her bones. She lost her ability to walk, yet would still do arm exercises in her wheelchair. Her courage and determination throughout her 20 month battle was nothing short of inspirational.
On February 5, 2012 at 11:45pm, Carol rested upon the wings of her guardian angels and was flown into Heaven where she lives eternally. We, as her family and friends, know she is out of pain forever which is a comfort. However, our hearts will never be healed from this tremendous loss.
Her presence is missed, but we know where she is there is no more cancer...Heaven has her safely tucked away behind the clouds. We know she watches over us.
"Your gentle face and patient smile.
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
The voice is mute and stilled
the heart
That loved us well and true.
Ah, bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
We miss you now, our hearts
are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face
No one can fill your vacant place"
"Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell" -.Edna St. Vincent Millay
"I’ve already been to hell and back. This time, I want to go to paradise. I want to do whatever it is you want. Because all I want is you, by my side, from this moment until forever" -Holly Stephens, Second Rate Chances
"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight." ~Kahlil Gibran
We have learned so many lessons,
Since our heads were bowed in grief,
That have kept our boat from crashing
On life's ragged, rocky reef.
~Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, "To One I Love" (1940s
As long as I can I will look at this world for both of us. As long as I can I will laugh with the birds, I will sing with the flowers, I will pray to the stars, for both of us. ~Sascha, as posted on motivateus.com
Heaven's Side - Alan Pemberton
When the storm inside is raging
When the night has trapped your fears
When the nightmare starts unfolding
When you cannot stem your tearsI shall see you in your sorrow
I shall feel your deep despair
Softly fold my arms around you
Let you know that I am thereI have passed the veil of knowledge
Leaving you with earthly gloom
Heaven floats and flows between us
Death is neither end nor doomIn the sunshine of our memories
Spun by silver thread so fine
Lives a picture of our loving
All is saved which is divineHold our love which is forever
Call me and I'm by your side
Trust the voice you hear within you
Sending love from heaven's side

Thoughts
I miss you mom I have tears streaming down my face right now and I feel so lost. I look at your pictures and wonder if you were really here or it was all just a beautiful dream. I can't explain my heartache I just want to run away or jump out of my skin--the worst feeling. I want to find you and bring you back home :(

When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little - but not too long and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me - but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take and each one must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go.

i love and miss you Mom. It'll be 3 years soon and I'm not ready.. I was never ready to let you go. I miss you and I wish I could bring you back for a minute. I hope you're doing everything you've ever wanted to do in Heaven. Thank you for the signs... You are so amazing even in death. I wish there was an explanation as to why it has to be this way because nothing makes sense. You lived your life with grace, love, and you were so health conscious!!! I remember you running on the treadmill and doing your arm exercises saying you wanted Angela Bassett (sp?) arms. And I remember you told me when you get to Heaven you were going to run since Cancer took your legs :( Well, mom I hope you're running and flying...but I know you'd choose running over flying any day ;) Ugh this is so hard to deal with and I still feel so incredibly lost and unloved... I know I am loved but I am missing that motherly love that you gave Brian and I 1000000% and now all of a sudden it's just not here like it used to be. Sometimes I wish to be with you soon and sometimes I realize you want me to live my life but it's all so messed up now... Please keep guiding me... I miss and love you soooooo much!!!!
