Not sure what to say?

To the Jones family,

I am extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Jones today. I was fortunate to meet Mr. Jones my senior year (83) at Sandalwood High School. He left such an incredible impression on me that I sought him out at FCCJ and enrolled in his Engineering Drafting class, despite the fact that I was majoring in business and not engineering. Anyone who was fortunate to meet him as a student, friend, or colleague would understand my rational for doing so.

Missy and the Jones family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Jones was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. He was a great teacher and an even better man. We will keep you all in our prayers.

With love and sympathy,
Karen

Diana,
So sorry to hear of your loss sweetie. Your Dad actually enjoyed hanging out here in tele-serve one of the few people ever. I think it was just so he could be near you. Please pass on to your family and your tele-serve family is here if you need us.

Diana,

God walks with the simple, makes

Himself known to the humble and gives

understanding to the poor in spirit.

Human reason is weak and easily

deceived. Trust in the Eternal and

incomprehensible Jesus Christ.


GRACE, MERCY, and PEACE

WANT YOU AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY TO KNOW THAT YOU ALL ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. I WAS GLAD TO KNOW YOU WERE AT YOUR DAD'S SIDE WHEN IT WAS HIS TIME TO PASS ON. IF YOU NEED ANYTHING DONE REGARDING GARDEN CLUB, PLEASE CONTACT ME AS MY E-MAIL DOESN'T ALWAY WORK.

Missy,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Even though I have not seen your dad in many years, I remember him being a kind and wonderful neighbor and teacher. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Debbie,
I never met your dad, but I know he was a very good role model and father for you. You always spoke highly of him and you are a product of his greatness. Just imagine a man with five women in the house. The drama rollercoaster ride that must have been. Yet he came out shining and superior. I will always listen and be there for you at school or wherever.

To the Jones Family

I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Mr Jones. I, too, was a student of his at Sandalwood for three straight years. I still have my 'end of the year awards' which was a fun tradition. He was more than just a drafting teacher to me; as the only girl in his class, he was my protection from 'red-bellies', a father-figure; someone who cared. I went back to visit him often and regret that we lost touch after he retired. I will never, never forget him,...
