Dale Smith Thomas -Television Personality and Author of "Good Morning Gorgeous" While it's a toss-up whether I laughed or cried more while reading "Bury Me With My Pearls", one thing is certain, when I finished it I was a better person than when I first picked it up. I have been a fan of Jane Jenkins Herlong's humor from the first moment I first heard her speak; however, I had no idea that she had such a magnificent gift for balancing humor, hope, and spirituality through storytelling. If you're looking for a book that will help you find your spiritual center, while comforting you with humor and warming you with inspiration, look no further. Bree Boyce, Fox News Anchor Jane Jenkins Herlong is one of the happiest, funniest most awe-inspiring people I have ever known. Even in the most stress filled occasions she has a way of turning it all into a nice funny, happy joke . . . called 'life'. This book, like Jane, is filled with those little stories, that help you 'move along' through this journey we call life. She has a heart of gold and words of pure silver. Thank you Jane, for your efforts to bring humor to all situations that life has to offer and for being a shining example of who Jesus is on this earth!
