To the Barkers and Jones family,
we were sadden to learn of your loss. It is our prayer that the Barkers/Jones family be strong and realize that God has called one of His servants home. For truly First Lady Gloria B. Jones is home with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is said that when you cry you cry alone but that is not true. The sadness you are feeling today is felt by love ones around you. Your lost here on earth is the Lord's again in heaven. May you find comfort in knowing that you are not alone. In your time of struggle, our prayers and thoughts are with you. God's Word tell us "But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory." Phil 4:19
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

I was very sad when I heard about the passing of Mrs. Jones. I have very happy and good memories of her while I was a member of the star for 17 years. She was a wonderful, loving, and caring person. Please know Rev. Jones & Family I know what you are going through because I just lost my father on Oct 16, 2009, but know that Mrs. Jones is in a better place and is not in any pain and suffering anymore. Keep your heads up and know that God is in control.
I will keep you all in my prayers.
Love always,

My thoughts and prayers are with you.I know that you are sadden by the homegoing of Mrs. Jones and that you will miss her. We all will miss her and her loving smile.It was a joy knowing her and working with her at the "Star". Take comfort in knowing that she is with God and there is no more pain, tears or suffering.

Uncle Wilbur, so many years ago, I asked you so many "why" questions. You simply replied, "Baby, God always does what is right." You said that over 40 years ago, and we both know it has not changed. It is well with Aunt Glo, and will be well in your life again. My love and prayers go out to you.
