Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me, I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work, or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close ofday.
Ifmy parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times ofsorrow. I wish you the sunshine oftomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much: Goodfriends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don't lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free.
Jewel is a precious gem. An adored treasure to be loved and handled with care. And that's what you are. We will always have memories. Memories ofinspiring words ofwisdom and memories ofthat most beautiful smile. A smile that could brighten the darkest room. There will be times when it's just too much for our hearts to bear. But we will remember. We will miss you deeply. Love, James, Marilyn, and Willie.
Dear Friends and Relatives
Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral spray ifso, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, but thought ofus today.
Whatever you did to console our hearts we thank you so much whatever the part. The Family

Jewe/ Green was the first of five children born to
the late Spencer Hugh Broughton and Ella Mae Broughton on December 7, 1943, in Chipley, Georgia. Jewel enjoyed music and was artistically inclined playing the piano and clarinet. She knew Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age. As a young adult she married Willie Henry Scott and in 1973, she married Walter Green and they were happily married for ~4 years until his passing in 2007.
Jewel loved gardening, floral artistry, playing cards and, oh yes, the slots/dogs! She loved spending time with her mother and enjoyed spending time with her sister while working and arranging flowers; and with her brother and family playing cards into the wee hours of the night.
Jewel is best remembered by her beautiful smile with the deep dimples and her gorgeous, sing-songy voice that would touch the depths of your soul- "Hello, My Darling".
She is preceded in death by her father, Spencer Broughton, daughter Talithea Scott, son Bernard Scott and brother, Eddie Clyde Broughton.
Jewel is survived by her mother, Ella Mae Broughton; son, Melvin Jerome Scott; two daughters, Sharon Jackson and Constance (Jerome) King; one sister, Deferice (Calvin) Mitchell; two brothers, James (Marilyn) Broughton and Mario (Nadiyah) Broughton; extended sister, Earlene Baker; extended daughter, Cynthia Price - Scott; grandchildren, Marllena, Amanda, Julian, Genathan, Khristopher, Jasmine and Jaylon; two great-grandchildren, Jorden and Alexandria; a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and special friends.
Jewel will be deeply missed
You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left Your heart can be empty because you can't see her Or you can be full ofthe love that you shared You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday Or you can be happy for tomorrow because ofyesterday You can remember her and only that she is gone Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

When I am gone, release me. Let me go. I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many beautiful years.
I gave to you my love. You can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say. "Welcome Home," (My Darling)
