Don't spend too much time in mouring: tears are for the sad. He left to be with Jesus, Etta & Gloria with the Jones family's Don't waste your hours in self worthlessness , no need to feel distress. Don't vex yourself with questions or try to reason why. Don't lose the love your father has given you; feed it up with your care. Grow it with devotion & spread it everywhere. Don't fret because his leaving came in such a way- We'll have another meeting on God's Eternal Day. Cookie

To the Jones Family, take comfort in knowing that God never makes a mistake and that weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. I had the pleasure of meeting and knowing Papa thru his family and he always kept me laughing whenever I would visit stop by with his granddaughter, Dana. He is in a much better place free from all hurt and pain.
