My condolences to the Jones family. I have fond memories of Shirley as a child in Jamaica, and remember spending time with her during my summer holidays with her cousin Merle. I remember her great personality, style, mannerism and her smile.
Shirley you will be missed, but will be in our hearts.

With Deepest Sympathy.

To The Jones Family,
With deep sympathy and a heavy heart ,I write these words for your family. I am so sorry for your loss. May you find peace in all the pleasant memories that you have, and may they comfort you, and bring you strength, in your time of grief. May you also find comfort with the thoughts below:
Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
