Jewelyn's nephew just updated on FB :(

She passed away at 11:30.  He is going to update with funeral info when they have it.  Again, I'm speechless. 

Jewelyn, you will be missed!  We love you!

Re: Jewelyn's nephew just updated on FB :(

  • Where did she deliver? Why was the baby taken to UCLA? I'm still a little fuzzy on these details.
  • Unbelieveable!

     

    She delivered at Fontana. Not sure about the baby. I thought that was weird too.

  • Rebecca-she delivered at KP in Fontana and the baby was taken to UCLA for observation. Her nephew said that Gaby is doing great
  • I just heard the news from Brandy. I can't believe it. I am so utterly sad. This is just so awful and I feel so sad. Gaby will never know how wonderful her mommy is.

    Thanks. Just wasn't sure on those details.

  • Does anybody know if she got to see and hold Gabrielle?

    This. I knew we would see that news today, but It's still unbelieveable.

    I certainly hope so, but I doubt it.

  • That was what I was thinking too, and that just made me absolutely heartbroken.
  • Amy told me earlier that she's not sure if Jewel even got to see Gabby

    I was afraid of that. It just makes it all the much harder knowing that she may not have even had one precious moment with her daughter.

  • I was telling amy how much sadder it was because I had just really started to get to know her and but we are the lucky ones cause we did get to know. Gabby will never know her beautiful mom

    Same here.  It is so horrible... I am just so sad and feel so terrible for her whole family. I am so sad.

    This is so awful.  I just can't even imagine what her family is going through.  And her daughter will never know her mother.  I feel sick.

    That is what is getting me the most. Know what would be cool? Maybe we could make a photobook using the pics from Amy's maternity shoot and find some of J's posts about her feelings re: her pregnancy and Gaby and quote them in the book. Does that make sense? Just came to me and I can't think or express myself properly right now.

    Makes total sense and I think that's a great idea!

    It makes total sense and I think it is an awesome idea. Maybe Irma and Amy could also include all the texts they got from her.

    I think that is the MOST awesome idea!!! A gift for Gabby! I had my mom until I was 30, but I would kill to have something like that of hers!!!

  • My sister made an awesome family book using: Shutterfly.com - she said it was really easy and it turned out great!

  • This is just unbelievable beyond heartbreaking. I still can't believe this has happened. My heart breaks for Jewelyn not getting to see her baby and for Gabby who will never know her mother. It is just so unfair.

    Becki~ I think that's a great idea.

  • I'm speechless, my thoughts are with Jewelyn and her family.
  • Love your idea Becki.

  • I am in shock. I know I'm not on here much so I'm not close to you guys but my heart is broken. So young...it makes me cry thinking these things happen. I relly don't even know what to say. I am so sorry for her, her family. her baby, and everyone's loss.

    CRAFTY ME 

    my read shelf:
    Kasi's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)

  • I really wish I had met her. It breaks my heart to think that she maybe didn't get to see or hold her daughter.

    Her daughter will know how loved her mother was, and hopefully she'll grow up with that as a part of her.  If she does, she's got an amazing life ahead of her filled with love and happiness.

  • This is so very sad! My heart goes out to her daughter and husband! I don't know why but somehow it makes it so real knowing she delivered in the hospital I was born in! I will be praying for her family!
  • I didn't know her but was just reading a post on another nest board.  I wanted to add that your ideas for making a book with some of her quotes about being excited for the baby etc sound wonderful - I love reading my mom's writing in my baby book and it is even more special now that she is not with me.
