Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grief. One assurance that we have as Christians, is there will be a great reunion day with our family and friends that know Christ. Brother Stone was a great man. We servered with him on the church board at First Assembly during the 80's. What great fellowship there was during our years of pastoring there.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We had the priviledge of worshipping with Brother Stone for several years at the Assemblies of God Church. He talked with us often of how proud he was of his grandchildren. Brother Stone was a godly example to the rest of us.

My deepest sympathy to the Stone Family. I had the pleasure to learn carpentry from a true man of God from 1982-1983 @ George E. Jones and Sons. He daily spoke proudly of his family and his love for Jesus Christ. His teachings have made me a better man and it was my pleasure to have known him.
Respectfully Yours, John Press

Our family, the Saunders Family has known and been friends with Eugene and his family for a very, very long time. We always loved Eugene and his sisters and brothers. I remember the way the girls and Eugene loved to sing. I have the fondest memories of them, and have often thought of them. I pray that the Lord will be with Lois and her children through this hard time. You all have a loved one in Heaven, whom you will see again. That is a blessed comfort.I am Everett's sister, Gertrude Saunders Cash..Amherst County.
