Tribute by great-granddaughter, Shani Lorraine Jewkes, "Not quite two months ago my great grandma had to say goodbye to the love of her life of almost 72 years. During the night she passed on to join him in their happy ever after. Words can't express the love and joy those two extremely special individuals gave all of us over the years. My heart is torn that we don't have them anymore, but is thrilled that they're together again. She didn't want to be here without her knight in shining armor and now they're together. Cheers to the best fairy tale this world has ever seen."
