If I should leave without saying good bye, please know that it was not by choice. 

The odds were stacked against me and it was not by choice. 

If I should leave quietly, without notice, please be aware that my journey will continue. 

Know that I am free of suffering and pain I continue to exist, but in different form. 

If you happen to notice my absence; I urge you to search a little deeper for my presence, and feel assured that I never really left you. 

I continue to be right there, right by your side. And if you ever feel Bereft and lonly, I hope you know that love never dies. 

No matter how much time passes, there will come a time when we meet again. 

Until then be patient... 

Always remember love is eternal... 

 Per Jewel's Wishes there will be no services or funeral, instead there will be a celebration of life held at a later date.
