My heart is so heavy, I’m missing you so much since you passed on. I hoped that you would live throughout my entire life, But God called you home. As a believer, I know that you are in the Lord’s presence, And this is far better than being here. I have to accept that But my thoughts won’t let me alone. I remember our many happy moments, Listening to good music or debating the problems of the world. You were my only friend, Now my life is in silence. I want to thank you for making me the man that I have become, I always tried to make you (and the black race) proud. You supplied all that I needed to succeed A strong faith in God, a loving home; and you continually prayed for me. I will carry on your love, And help others in need. Because that’s what you taught me, We are blessed when we help others. I don’t want to ever say goodbye, Certainly, your memories will carry on. Your presence will be greatly missed, But your love will live on. Forever your baby, Kereem
A Strong Lady

Life has dealt you plenty of cards, some winning, others bad, And tides have brought in waves of memories: both happy and sad. Gracious, beautiful black woman, so wonderful and divine, Your speech was confident, your eyes were soft, and your actions were bold. Your laugh equals happiness, your heart contained love and hid the stories untold. Tired, beautiful black woman, so patient and so calm, It’s funny how you held the family’s fear within your tongue.

Love is such a misunderstood word. Movies try to emulate it, but they never really get it right. Love is an action word. As long as I have known Grandma Nee Nee I have learned from her what love truly looks like. It is sacrifice, endearing, never giving up, being there when it mattered the most, and always being the backbone that lifted other people up. She may not have done everything perfect in life, who does? But at the end of the day when it was time to lay to rest, what she did do right rang true. A loving mother and a tower of strength for her family and those she came in contact with. A beautiful example of what love and truly be and her love, strength, and courage will live on in me and the rest of her children and loved ones. I was very blessed to have known someone as special as Jewel Stewart. I will cherish the time we had to together and know that her memory will always reside in my heart where she will always live. With all my love, Your Granddaughter Whitney

“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
II Timothy 4:6-8
J
ewell Juanita Stewart was born June 26th, 1945, to Willie May Ayers and Samuel Ayers in Memphis, Tennessee.
She devoted her life to Christ at a young age. She attended Melrose High School, where she was a proud “Golden Wildcat” Class of 1964. Jewell had a career with the Memphis City School system for well over 30 years. She loved fashion, shopping, reading her bible, cooking, and spending time with her family. Jewell was a proud mother of four children: Rhonda Marie Ayers, Angelo Marlow (Monique Allen), Marlon Marlow-Mabon (Marcus Mabon), and Kereem Marlow (Chandrea Marlow), whom she loved dearly. She also loved and leaves her grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Jovanii Woodley, William Perkins, Abria Ayers, Whitney Marlow, John Brown, Mikhail Brown, Jamilah Brown, Abrionda Carter, Amaya Marlow, Zeori Harper, Kereem Marlow Jr., Camille Perkins, Karissa Marlow, Jorden Brown, Kimmy Marlow, and Azariah Ayers. Jewell was a friend to many and a best friend to Ms. Paula. She also leaves a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends to cherish her memory. Jewell transitioned to be with the Lord on Saturday, April 10th, 2021. She was preceded into death by her parents, sister, daughter, and granddaughter. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
