We are so sorry for the lost of your beloved mother. May she continue to shine down on you and your family. I can remember her like it was yesterday as she taught me and my friends in school in 1976. May God Bless you and your family.

TO MARY, JEANNIE, AND JOHNNIE, I know that this is a difficult time for you, but know that your Mom, and my Aunt lived a full life and look to the special times that you all shared with her. I just hear about Aunt Frances death today from Faye. That is how I will remember her, and the good memories that we shared as I was growing up back in Hampton. Also the family gatherings we all had when Grandma Jones was still with us, at her home, in Newport News. Treasure your memories, and know...

Johnny, Jeannie and Mary......I was deeply saddened to read about your Mother. I have known your family a very long time, almost all my life. I have many memories of living next door to you, and your mom is a big part of those memories. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, and may your memories bring you comfort now and in the future. Love you all!
