You are forever in our hearts.

Merry Christmas SugarPie,
This is our second Christmas with out you being here. Its just not the same cause I didn't have you to call me on Christmas Eve to see if I was going to do that last day of shopping and for me to say no. However, the other two girls kept the tradition of shopping on Christmas Eve.
My family enjoyed themselves I believe they got more than enough and they all seemed to be please at what they got. Santa was very good to them. I was also quite please with the gifts I received from everyone.
Just had to get a note to you to say that I miss you my mother my friend, you no the daily talks we had. Hope you had a wonderful day in Heaven being there with your husband who missed you so much last year.
Have not talked with the entire family this day but I am sure they are doing well. I am so tired, went to the doctor the other day he says I have tenonites gave me some medicine which seem to help at least it let me finished all I had to do and prepare for Christmas.
Well good nite enough what's left and keep a watchful eye on your entire family. Love and miss you.
Daughter,
Maryann

My dear sweet mother, Carrie "Sugarpie" Jones
I knew that morning that God was going to call your name very soon because all through the night you were calling him and your mother. I believe you were ready to leave us and you wanted to be with them so you left us. No farewell words were spoken...No time to say goodbye...You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.
I am so sorry that you are gone, you know I miss our daily telephone calls and its just now the same not having you here with us and then 10 months after you left us Big George got away from us. He missed you so very much and wanted to be with his lady of 68 years. Neither one of you all are suffering anymore. I know you all are giving your praises to God our Heavenly Father.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, and Big George, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home and then God called Big George home. You all left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.
I want to thank you for everything that you did for me in giving me values that I hope that I am fulfilling. I am trying very hard to follow your foot steps, however I don't think I am there yet but I am trying hard and will keep the things that you wanted to be kept - "kept".
I thank God everyday that I had devoted parents that gave me and the rest of the family everything that they could afford to give. We all ought to be thankful for all the blessings that you and Big George gave us.
Its hard to forget a good woman and a good man I am always telling folks that I had very good parents that did their very best for their family and loved us all equally. What one got the other got... we all got the same and I hope that they remember your wishes that we remain a close family, no fighting.
I am going to remind them as much as I can.
Well, Sugarpie take care of yourself enjoy being in Heaven with your family and just know that I miss you and will do the best I can to keep the family together.
Love always,
Daughter

To Sugar Pie and Big George,
As we look back over-time
We find ourselves wondering...
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us...
to celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the thing you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along.
How much you meant to each of us.
Love and miss you.

Hello Harris,
It has been a difficult year and we wish that you were here to offer your guidance. As you know,Big George left us in September. He fought a long battle without you, but missed you dearly. I know that he is happy now that he is with you.
I am trying to make family decisions that we know you told us you wanted and I hope that everything works out like you and Big George wanted them to. We definitely are looking out for Kenneth and his future and trying to keep the family united.
I love you Harris and am happy that you are no longer in pain.

Harris,
It has been a rough summer and we have missed your guidance dearly. Big George has been to the hospital four times this summer and we have tried to make the right decisions . We have stayed with him during his days in the hospital so that he will always know how much he is loved.
We miss your special words that only YOU could say to help us cope with life's ups and downs. Although we do our best, we know that you are in his thoughts daily and he misses his life companion.
YOU are the BEST MOTHER ever and I miss being able to chat with you.
You are always in my thoughts and I
hope that our family will strive to make each day worthwhile and to be a blessing to others like you always have been.
Love,
Maryann Fair

The Mansion of Heaven
The world, however beautiful, was never meant to be the place that we would call our home for all eternity. And though we would not choose to leave, a loving God knows best, and in His time, He lifts us to a place of peace and rest.
For He has built a mansion where His children will abide, free from pain and sorrow, forever at His side. And though there may be many things that we cannot explain, we can be sure it breaks his heart to see His children's pain. In loving arms, He bears us to a quite place apart where He mends the wounded spirit and heals the broken heart.
And though these ones we love so much have left our present sight and passed into a better world of majesty and light, someday we'll be together in our Father's home above where we'll thank Him for his mercy and praise Him for His love.

THANK YOU GRAND and GREAT-GRANDMA, "SUGARPIE"
Dear grand and great-grandma,
We miss you so much! Some grand and great-grandchildren only get to see their grand & great-grandparents on occasion. We were BLESSED
that we had you in our lives everyday. The time spent with you was always cherished. We wish we could reach out and hug you or touch you right now, or even hear your voice which so often yelled at us to stay in front of the house (as concern grandparents would do) as well as encouraged we received. You meant so much to us; we knew you loved us too.
Thank you for the daily snacks after school and your home cooked meals we got when we were there.
Thank you for making the holidays special. We are so thankful to God for leaving us with the vision of your smiling face. We will always remember the time that God allowed us to share with you. Thank you for always giving advice to our parents on how to raise us.
One of the last things you said to some of us was I love you and I love everybody.
We promise that we will be the grand and great-grandchildren that you would be proud of.
We will always love you.

60th Anniversary of George Albert and Carrie Riddick Jones (June 5, 2002) ...celebrated on June 8th
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; his mercy endureth forever. (Psalm 118.1)
This afternoon, I am extremely happy that I will be serving as your mistress of ceremony for this very special and joyous occasion - the 60th anniversary of my parents, George Albert and Carrie Riddick Jones, affectionly known to the family as "Big George" and "SugarPie".
Before I begin with my official duties, (Let us " all rejoice in the Lord) Psalm 33.
My siblings and I want our parent to know that we ADMIRE, LOVE and ADORE them. We are very thrill that other family members, friends young and old are sharing this celebration with them.
We want all to know that Marriages do Last and you too can have a "love of a lifetime". Through the grace of our Lord and Savior our parents made it and it continues.
One of my favorite saying by Maya Angelous is: "Life can be rough, it can be tough, but if you have the courage to love, you survive. Life loves those who live it." BG and SP are still living it. "This afternoon, we will be going down memory lane and reiminiscening with BG and SP. (We might even tell you a story or two about the "bicycle king", photographer, "Camera man", or the "butcher's daughter, who the "shop til she drop lady".
As children, we remember that you were always by our side. Even through our curiosity, in trying things and wanting to be grown-up.
You've shared fun times and memories as well as always being there for us. Our family is a circle of strength and love with every birth and every union, that circle grows. All the joy shared adds more love. Every criss we faced together makes the circle stronger, "how blssed we are to have dear parents?.
Now that we are on our own - we still value your words of wisdom- you'll still here by our side - right in our heart where we will always treasure you.
Now ladies and gentlemen, sit back and enjoy the program we have prepared.
BG and SP are considerate people who try to help others in all that they do; they are people whose love shows the meaning of kindness. It is so good to know special people like them.
The Golden Rules for staying happy with the one you love are: love each other, listen objectively, never stop treating each other like sweethearts, take care of each other, look to each other for help, talk about things together the way you would talk with a friend, settle the fact that you've made your choice and you've no longer looking for anyone else, be in agreement about how much is spent, when in doubt about your actions, ask yourself how you would want to be treated and act accordingly and have fun.
The key to love is inside all of us: it only takes time and patience to unload all the ingredients that will take you to its threshold; it is a continual learning process that demands a lot of work but the rewards are more than worth the effort.
We appreciate the understanding and support you've always given us. We know that your days have been filled with sharing, your years with caring. Especially, the way you put up with our faults and sill llove us in spite of them. You bring so much joy to our life just being the beautiful, caring persons you are. We are very lucky to have you as our parents.
As we toast, may your anniversary be a special time for remembering the beautiful moments that have brought so much happiness to your marriage.
Happy 60th anniversary.
(Anniversary celebrations were for the 40th and 65th)
Love,
Teresa Burns

WHAT IS A MOTHER?
A mother is someone to shelter and guide us, to love us, whatever we do, with a warm understanding and infinite patience, and wonderful gentleness, too. How often a mother means swift reassurance in soothing our small, childish fears, how tenderly mothers watch over their children and treasure them all through the years! The heart of a mother is full of forgiveness for any mistake, big or small, and generous always in helping her family whose needs she has placed above all. A mother can utter a word of compassion and make all our cares fall away, she can brighten a home with the sound of her laughter and make life delightful and gay. A mother possesses incredible wisdom and wonderful insight and skill- and in each human heart is that one special corner which only a mother can fill!

Dear Mom,
Now that we have a family of our own, we realize just how much it takes to be a good parent. We can see for ourselves the sacrifices and challenges, the responsibilities and, sometimes the frustrations that raising children can bring. But we also experience the joy, love, and pride that made it all worthwhile. And we know that no matter how difficult it seems at times, we always have the example you set for us as a loving mother. Whatever success we have at being good parents, we owe to one of the best teachers, anyone could ever have - you, Mom (Sugarpie)

Wow! What a lady my mother Sugar Pie was!
In 1986 I was involved in a motorcycle accident that left me in such bad shape that I could not take care of my basic needs. Everyday before Sugar Pie went to work, she bathed me- and I mean bathed my complete body. She never complained as she patiently washed me from head to toe and fed me my meals. It takes a real mother to be so loving and caring and that is what Sugar Pie was.
Sugar Pie, you were my “Baby “ and I will love you forever. I am sorry for the times that I disappointed you in life, but I will always remember your wise teachings and try to follow them. You are the best!
I love you today, tomorrow and forever.

A Birthday Wish for Mother
"NO LOVE IS AS PERFECT AS MOTHER'S"
No Love is as perfect as Mother's
No love is as deep and sincere,
No love is as full of forgiveness
And faith every day of the year
No love gives so much...
Asks so little,
No love is as lasting and true,
No love is as perfect as Mother's
No mother is as perfect as you were.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

CARRIE - CARRIE
My phenomenal mother, I miss you. I miss our everyday telephone conversations, and me asking you how you are doing and you would always say, "I'm Fine."
I miss visiting you and you asking "did you call your husband" to let him know you arrived safely. I miss your cooking even when I would tell you I would cook and I would tell you that I cook at home and I would say, "take a look at David". I just wished that you and Big George had visited more.
I remember on Sunday morning the rushing to get ready for church, of course , I usually went to your church. I know sometimes you did not want to take pictures after church and you would say, "you got enough pictures". But I wanted to take family pictures so my friends could see how everyone looked and especially see how sharp you looked in your "high heels, suits and hats".
I want you to know that I really appreciate everything you did for me. I appreciated it when you gave your consent for me to leave home and go to Washington, DC to get a job and you told me I am giving you enough money to last you for a month. If you do not find a job you will have to come home. I founded that job within the time frame. I must say, I have been very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. So far a "sheltered" girl I did all right with your blessings. I am so grateful you told me to go back to college to get that degree and you were able to see me retire from the federal government.
Since you have been gone, I have founded "JOY" in going to the memory/guest book to read what your family and friends have said about you.
I am striving very hard to continue to have spirtual values that you had.
The time has come that I must say so long, but I want you to I know and remember,
"I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, MY MOTHER , SWEET SUGARPIE".

Dear Mother, You Are Still Loved
When the road seems too long, when darkness sets in when everything turns out wrong and you can't find a friend, remember - you are wtill loved.
When smiles are hard to come by and you're feeling down, when you spread your wings to fly and can't get off the ground, remember - you are still loved.
When time runs out before you're through and it's over before you begin, when little things get to you and you just can't win remember - you are still loved.
When your loved ones are far away, and you are on your own, when you don't know what to say when you're afraid of being alone, remember you are still loved.
When your sadness comes to an end and everything is going right, may you thinkof your family and friends and keep their love in sight a thank-you for being loved.
May you see the love around you in everything you do and when troubles seem to surround you, may all the love shine through. You are blessed - you are still loved.

Resting in the Bosom of Jesus
Weep not, weep not...She is not dead
She's resting in the bosom of Jesus. Heart-broken husband-weep no more; Grief-stricken son - weep no more;Left-lonesome daughter - weep no more; She's just gone home.
While we were watching round her bed, She turned her eyes and looked away, She saw what we couldn't see; She saw Old Death. She saw Old Death coming like a falling star. But death didn't frighten Sister Carrie. He looked to her like a welcome friend. And she whispered to us: I'm going home, and she smiled and closed her eyes.
And death took her up like a baby, and she lay in his icy arms, but she didn't feel no chill. And death began to ride again - up beyond the evening star, out beyond the morning star, into the glittering light of glory, on to the great white throne. And there he laid Sister Carrie on the loving breast of Jesus.
And Jesus took his own hand and wiped away her tears. And he smoothed the furrows from here face, and the angels sang a little song, and Jesus rocked her in his arms, and kept a saying: Take your rest, take your rest, take your rest.
Weep not- weep not
She is not dead;
She's resting in the bosom of Jesus.

SugarPie,
I (we)love and miss you, and will always cherish our special memories and moments with you.
I remember my first meeting with you and Big George, I was kind of scared but thought I would give it a try, I was so amazed that everyone treated me like they knew me. I especially, remember when you and Aunt Eunice and the kids came up to Washington for a visit and I was there during the night, I knew right then that I had to marry Maryann because she told me that you did not like us "staying together not married". It took me three years but I finally did and as you know we are in our 41st year.
I especially cared for you, because you were a church going Christian lady and you reminded me of my mother. I also, knew to bring church clothes down whenever I came because we would all be going to churh, yours or Big George.
I also remember all of my special days because I always knew something was in those envelopes or boxes.
I am really going to miss your homemade "dressing" that you would always see that I got.
Sugarpie you were a special delightful person, so I know your daughter, granddaughter and greatgrand daughters are going to miss you.
SugarPie, I promise that I will always treat your daughter, Maryann, my wife with respect and will take care of her
to the best of my ability.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your family.
I have plenty of memories to remember.
Love you

To My Mother Sugar Pie,
It has been an honor having had you as my mother. You have taught me so much about the importance of family and prayer.
I thank you for all the times that we have shared together and I mean all the times. From sitting around the house in the kitchen talking, resting on the porch, going to pick up the kids from school, attending school events such as PTA's, choral programs, orchestra programs, student of the month and football games. Taking care of Preston and James when C.J. and I moved back here from Colorado. Watching Tiffany while I worked. You were there in the birthing room for the birth of Donovan.
You know how we loved to watch the View at 11:00 A.M.,and Wheel of Fortune at 7:00 P.M. You and I were quite a pair and let's not forget the endless hours of shopping especially when Linda was with us.
Taking you to the doctor was always a pleasure because it was my choice to be with you at every visit and we know that I didn't just take you and drop you off but went into the examining room with you so that you would not be alone no matter what.
We had such a grand time together and I will NEVER forget our time together
especially our pajama party that we had I still have your pajamas.
I know that you are in a much better place and who can be upset knowing that you have gone to heaven.
I will continue to have our little private chats because I know that you are watching over me and all of us.
Love you forever,
Teresa

Dear Harris,
It has been an honor learning values of life from you. You have always embraced the people who are a part of our lives and been the loving wife and mother that we have all been proud of.
I know the personal sacrifices you have made for ALL of your family. Your love and concern for us have been evident in all that you do. You are, indeed, a Christian woman and your life has exemplified this.
I will miss calling you and sharing our “special “ times and pray that I can be as loving as you always have been to all.
I will love you ALWAYS!!
PS. Thank you for allowing me to call you Harris( your grandmother Susie’s last name).
