To the Family of Mary Jones:

We would like to let you know that we are thinking of you and lifting you up in our prayers.

We always looked forward to visiting Mary and other residents at Towne Centre on the 3rd Saturday of each month. She was always ready to lift up the Name of Jesus and give an encouraging word. She often reminded us that one of her favorite songs was "I'm Going Up Yonder", so we added it to our song book.

We will miss Mary very much, but we are comforted in knowing that she is with her
Lord.

God Bless You All

To the family of Mrs. Mary Jones,

Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family. It was a great honor for me to have Mrs. Jones in my life. Richard and I spent many days laughing and discussing life sitting in the kitchen with his mom. I'm not alone in saying many of Ricky's friends received the same love and help as young people being guided in the right direction. Mrs. Jones reminded us that God should always come first in whatever we do. She greeted me with a hug whenever I saw her in church and even when she wasn't doing her best in the nursing home I could see her smile as I walked through the door. God has a new Angel now, one that has loved her children, family, friends, and students as much as he has instructed us to do here on earth. To the Family of Mrs. Jones be comforted in knowing you have done well and sent her home with her beautiful smile.

To the family of Mrs Jones,
Words cannot express how much this lady impacted my life. Mrs Jones was one of those teachers that taught with love. Her smile could light up a room. The last time I saw her was at my mother's funeral 11 years ago and her being there was such a blessing. That familiar smile!!! God has truly gained a beautiful flower!!! RIH Mrs Jones
