I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the family of Clarke. I worked closely with Clarke about 10 years ago at Jettys Reach through the development process for new purchases and shoreline improvement and he was one of the kindest people that I have ever met. I truly admired his morals, ethics and judgement. He will be missed by many.
Fondly,
Cindy & Carl Freeman

We offer our deepest sympathy in the passing of Mr. Jones. Although we never had the privilege of meeting him, we know that he was a true family patiarch. May you be comforted by happy memories and by the presence of God. We regret that we were unable to attend his service, but you were (and will continue to be) held in our thoughts and prayers.
In sympathy,

To the Jones Family
My thoughts are prayers are with you all. I didn't know Mr. Jones very well but my dad respected him and always spoke highly of him...and anyone who knew my dad knew that making that list wasn't the easiest task.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do. Hold on to your memories and faith they will help see you through.

Papa was a Very special man who will always be remembered. I had a wonderful chance to meet him and share many special moments with him. One of which his birthday may never be forgotten. I know his spirt will live on. May any man be the best man if he is even just 1/2 of what papa was to the world! LOVE ALWAYS

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Joyce called re the death of Mr. Jones. Judging by his picture, he was a fine Naval Officer, fine gentleman, and a very happy person. Losing a loved one is always difficult, however there will be many fond memories of him to cherish forever. We extend our sincere condolences to you and may God provide strength to you as you grieve for this very special person.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. You all have been family to us since I have known you. The few times that I met your grandfather were very blessed times. He was truly a great man and one of the finest gentlemen I have ever met. He was very proud of his family and kindhearted and spoke of you all very much. May the memories shared comfort you all now and in the days ahead.

To The Jones Families and to our Dearest Daughter-in-Law, Ashley and Son, David:
Thank you for sharing this wonderful man with us for the short one and a half years that we have known him. He was a true inspiration to all who knew him, and from the day we met him, we knew he was a man of his word, a loving, devoted family man and a true Christian. From our first hello, he made us feel like we had always known him, welcomed us into his family and we knew that we were part of his larger family in Christ. We know that God opened his arms wide and smiled when he welcomed him home, because as the poem we submitted stated, God has bigger plans for him, with no aches and pains, as he helps to prepare a place for all of us. We know that you All will miss him, but the memory of such a wonderful man can never be taken away from any of you.
All our Love and Prayers are with each and every one of you today and everyday.
