Jewel Austin Houston was born as an angel, sent to help and heal others as an angel, and now has gone back home to heaven to fulfill her job as an outstanding angel. Jewel and I have always called each other sisters. Closer than some friends. She held my daughter Nicole when she was only a few days old, and argued with me that the baby was hers and not mine. Nicole grew up knowing Jewel as a godmother, in the library and at home. I last spoke with Jewel after Christmas and talked about how nice and sweet her husband, Billy, had always been to her. I told her that even though I had never met him. I knew that he had to be an unusually nice man for her to marry him. Thank you, Billy, for being beside Jewel throughout all of her illness and bad days. May Jewel always have comfort and joy watching over all who know her. And may we all never forget the angel that walked among us.
I was thinking of Jewel just a few days ago, and was stunned when I read the notice in Friday's paper. She was a very special person. I always think of her as a dear friend, even though I had not communicated with her in a couple of years. (I was the Library Director in Dumas for several years and sold books for a while after that.) Jewel was one of those people that always made me feel better. Her passing saddens me greatly, though I know her body is now healed. My sympathies to the family, friends and colleagues she leaves behind.
I offer my sympathy and prayers to the family. I met Jewel when I went to the University of NT. I was a transfer student and didn't know many people in Denton and she became a good friend/mother to me. We lost touch over the years but I will never forget her. She was such a sweet person and she kept me in line alot. I would always go over to her place to talk and she said I made her laugh. She was a true Christian.
Your family are in my prayers. Marina Moore Reynolds
Our prayers and thoughts are we you and your family during your time of grief. May God be with you!The Horton family
