Butch, Tanda and Curtis,
I was saddened to hear of your loss. Your father was a great guy, and I count myself privileged to have gotten to know him. I am thankful for all the un-coincidental circumstances that made knowing Mr. Jones possible - My moving to Chilhowie and knowing Curtis, Tanda and Curtis meeting, Tanda introducing our family to hers!
Take comfort in knowing that the Bible promises that "to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord." Your dad is in a far better place - with Jesus!
We Love you guys - and are praying for you!

Just a little note to let you know what a wonderful father you had, I thank the good Lord for letting me meet a man as nice and good hearted as your father. He is with his wife and the good lord and he would not come back for anything in this world. We will miss his smiling face at the Hometown. your friend,

I just wanted you to know that I was saddened to hear of your loss and to let you know that all of you are in my prayers. Family is so important and I've always admired how you support one another. It's been very special to have Charlotte and Tooter as neighbors and to have Faye as a friend. As I recall special memories of your family from childhood, I recall a family that God blessed with leadership, intelligence, outstanding athletic ability, and a great sense of community...especially as educators. I pray that God will give all of you that peace that passes all understanding in the days ahead.
Sincerely, Linda Lilly Vernon
