Deanne Jones

Four weeks ago, early this morning, Annie Jones past from this life. In doing so she left many in disbelief that she was gone. She had spent Friday rafting on the Green River near Green River Utah with our family who had fallen in love with her and were looking forward to the time that she would be apart of the family. Our son Samuel was the happiest we had ever known since he had become a young man. From what we know, Annie was also happy. Then shortly after midnight about 10 minutes...

Rob, I am sorry to hear about your sister. I hope that you will have a lot of comfort at this time. I know that your sister loves you and is in a better place. It sounds like she was a wonderful person, and sister.

My dear daughter, mentor, and friend,
thank you for being the sweet, compassionate, unconditionally loving soul that you are. Thank you for being a priceless gift in our lives. I'll love you, forever, my darling daughter, Annie. xoxoxoxox's mom

We also mourn Annie here in Kentucky where her brother served his mission and shared with us through his example and devotion what a wonderful family you have. Our hearts ache for you and we pray for comfort and healing.

I never had a chance to Meet Annie, We were traveling to Utah, My Daughter, her fiance and his mother were going to Fayette for Engagement Pictures. We were one of the first to come upon the accident. I don't know if this will give you comfort or not, but we believe that Annie's Passing was immediate and she did not suffer. I was glad we were able to help Samuel and Matt and Sam's parents at this time. May God Bless your Family.
Sincerely, Pam Thompson

I too had the opportunity to teach Annie in the MTC. I was with her for her entire stay here. I am not aware of what happened to her, but I wish your family well as you go through this experience. A few things that I liked about Hermana Jones were her quiet dignity, her smile, and her interest in the lives of the people she taught here in the MTC. The Lord bless you.

I only had met Annie once or twice and she had the same kindness if not more than her siblings and family members. She was much looked up to and will forever. I definitely remember her smile and it will remain with me.

I was privileged to teach Annie in the MTC for her last few weeks there. She was a stalwart missionary that loved the gospel. She was so gentle and kind. My prayers will be with your family.

Annie radiated such goodness. She truly had Christ's image in her countenance. It has been a joy and blessing knowing and associating with her. Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with your family at this very difficult time. We will surely miss you too as you move from Provo. You have richly blessed our lives.
