Memories and Condolences
for PAULA JONES

Not sure what to say?





My loving Sister, words can't explain how much I miss you. Know I think about you often. I remember when I received noticed of your passing while training in the field in Japan, I was heartbroken. But I knew you were in Heaven looking down on us still here saying to not be sad, but to thank God for the time he gave you to us. I immediately started thinking about the life we all shared together. We had so much fun when we all were able to be together. I love you Sister.

This message is for the brother " Ricky " Jones, children and the parents of Paula. We went to school together, and I was a classmate of Ricky, but we all grew up together on the Heights.
I can still remember your soft spoken words and your beautiful smile. I will always remember that smile. Though years have passed since we last met, I will always cherish our friendship. One day, we will all have to travel this road, so I say farewell.....my sister in Christ, until we meet again. My deepest condolences to your family and loved ones. Nina R. Walton-Kent

Paula, I never thought the day you walked into our unit, we would become such good friends. We always made plans to be friends till the end, to grow old in the same nursing home, but God had a better plan for you. You were my "work sister", my sister away from home, and when you passed you took a part of my heart with you. But its ok I'll see you again Sister. Tevin and Tiffinie, I know the pain seems so great but let the memories you've shared with your mom be your strength. Paula, I love you!

Tevin and Tiffinie and the Jones Family. I offer my heartfelt condolences to the family. I met Paula when she was a young lady and was introduced to our family. She always had a beautiful smile and gentle spirit. Tevin and Tiffinie stay strong and know that your mom had every reason to be proud of you too. God knew best and took his angel to be home with him. It will hurt for a while, but trust me, it does get better. We are here for you if you should need anything.

Sister, you were the only girl out of seven. How did you put up with all us boys growing up? You know many times you put us in our place. You let us know just because I'm the a girl, don't take me lightly. You definitely held your own with us. I will never forget all our talks and the advice you gave me over the years. You have done an amazing job with Tevin and Tiffinie. Your strength is embedded in them. Our family was blessed with you the time you were physically here with us. Now Spiritually you will always remain with us all. I love Sis, and you you know you will be missed by many.

Paul,
PS: As we always said when we talked on the phone or saw each in person: Me: SISTER. You: BROTHER

Family,
We are blessed to have experienced Aunt Paula's love. She was placed on earth to fulfill the Will of GOD, and when her burden became too heavy GOD lifted it away. GOD has taken her by the hand, and gave as he promised everlasting life for a job well done. Aunt Paula, our hearts are heavy today, but with grace and mercy we will continue on remembering your smile, humor, honesty, and unyielding love that touched each of us. You will live in our hearts forevermore. We Love You and May God continue to comfort the family in this time of sorrow.
