Mrs Jones & Family, It saddens me to hear of the death of a Great Man, Reverend Jones. I will always remenber him because of his GREAT TEACHING & PREACHING God's Word. He will truly be missed by all those he touched, even if it was just a simple hello or a bright smile. May the Memories & the Grace of God Comfort you during this season.

Well Done Good and Faithful Servant!!!!
