Re: Jewell Munn and previous posts (please go back a read them, too)

Hello all, We are sick with grief and we thank you all for your kind words, thoughts, prayers and love. Please keep praying, especially for my Father. My DaD, brothers, & a couple of friends will have a private memorial service tonight with a Minister that my MoM loved dearly. He will come to our house and we will have a service in my MoM's living room (the nice one where we kept it clean, and had christmas, and is decorated only by her, and is all peach, and her "girl" room in a house full of men). We love her and miss her with all of our hearts. Rather than an address for you to send flowers and cards to, I think we would prefer and know that our MoM, Jewell Munn, would have preferred that you make a donation in her name to your local church or synagoge, The American Diabetes Association or The American Heart Association. Also, the greatest gift that you could give my family AND YOURS is to get all of the information from your doctor and other resources, make sure this is the decision that YOU need to make, LOVE your family, and if this surgery is what your heart and mind tells you that YOU must do -then DO IT and NEVER LOOK BACK (you're not going that way anymore). My MoM discovered, researched, cross-referenced, chatted on here, went to seminars, talked with my DaD, talked to us, talked with the doctors, thought, prayed, made lists, took "before" pictures, had special talks with my brothers, my DaD, and her sister, and God knows what else preparing for this surgery. She was READY for her journey. You can do this, too. My Mother was so brave and tough, but she keeps "telling me" that it was "just her time to go" and that she is with God now. ...YOU will be in a kind of new "Heaven on Earth" WHEN YOU MAKE IT through this (which 98-99% of you WILL!!!) and you will be in HEAVEN if, for some odd reason, you do not. Either way, you will be in peace. Thank you all again. SAFE TRAVELS, Love, Love, Love, Love, -Scott Munn for Andy Munn for Mikey Munn for my beloved DaD, Pat Munn and for our beautiful Momma, JEWELL MUNN God rest her soul.

We all have a special angel now. Thoughts and prayers to you and yours. I think it an awesome thing that after such tragedy in your lives that you can wish us well and encourage us in the very same endevor. Jewell raised some jewels, that much is obvious! Take care and please feel free to come back and post just for posting sake. We will be thinking of you in our journey as we make our own. Love, Hugs, and Thanks, Gayle

God Bless you all! Your mom has been so blessed to have such a loving and wonderful family! Just know she is at Peace now and with God!

To the Jewell Munn Family, Thank you for taking the time during this difficult and trying time of losing your loved one to give us the information on where to send donations to. What a wonderful family you are, Jewell must have been very proud of each one of you. Also, thank you for the words of encouragement to those of us waiting for surgery, mine is scheduled for this Thursday, after much research and prayer I know I have made the right decision. Please drop us an e-mail once in awhile, we would love to hear from you, we as a community care very much for everyone of our members. God Bless and Rest Jewell's soul. My prayers continue to be with you, Pat, Scott, Andy and Micky Betty Singer

Our Lord will bless all of you, Scott...He never takes something/someone away without giving back. He took her home, and she's now at rest - she's in a place much, much better than this earth was...think of everything that she loved the most and made her happiest, amplify that by a zillion, and that's where your Mom is right now. Kind of makes it a TEENY easier to let her go. I know - I lost my precious Dad in 1988, and although I miss him every day of my life, he's with his parents and siblings now. I'll be meeting up with him when it's my time, but that's on God's call, not mine. Your family is a testimony to the woman/mother that Jewell was. Altho we grew to love her in OUR experience with her, your open outpouring of love for her shows what a real family you are. And the fact that you can actually come on here after your loss and encourage those of us facing their surgeries to do it with knowledge and confidence speaks loudly of the quality of people you are, which is exactly what Jewell was, too. I know your hearts are breaking, and I'm praying that you feel God's presence in a very real way. But I'm so proud of you and the way you are maintaining at this time. Your Mom raised some very strong men as sons, and it's obvious she did a spectacular job. She has much to be proud of, and this goes even further to reflect on what a great gal Jewell was. Scott, you take care of each other, and especially your Dad. Surround him with the obvious love you have for each other. Your Mom may not be there physically any more, but her spirit will always live on in the characteristics she's taught you all: each of you carries a little bit of your Mom. Love your Dad lots, love each other even more. Be assured there are people praying for you all, that you get through this as easily as possible. You are all very special to us in a way that not many can understand: we "Marchers" have become like extended family to each other because we've shared a very sensitive area in our lives that not many are "allowed in to". As a result of that, we've become very close, like I said, just as an extended family. So you have inadvertently become like family to us, too. Our concern and care is real. If we can do ANYTHING, please let us know... Lovingly, Kimmer

To the Munn Family, I want to thank you all for coming on here and encouraging all of us even through your loss. Jewell shines through all of you. I know how hard it is to lose someone but I do know that Jewell is so much happier where she is. It is obvious that she instilled in all of you her wonderful spirit. Your family will be in my prayers and thank you for letting us know where to send donations. God Bless your family. Bethany

Thank you so much for your last post, even though I am pre op, I am so grateful for your encouraging words!

Dear Scott and Munn Family, Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to write this follow-up letter! I am just so overwhelmed with the emotion of your words. I hope you will all take good care of yourselves and one another during this terrible time. I believe that love never dies, it only changes form. Your mom will always be with you. Many blessings and healing love to you all, Eve
