What a special person she was in my life and the life of my family. I will and have never forgot her for the important role she played in my life. Always one to make me laugh and vice versa. I will miss you Mary Jones, God speed to you, and may your soul enter into the peaceful presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ. God left you here for a long time to be the good servant He need to impact the many lives you surly affected. Rest in Peace in your place so well deserved Mary Jones. Love, JWC.
