JD,San, I love you both so many great memories with your dad I remember when he let me drive his Cutlas to Churches chicken barely knew how to drive but, he had faith, just like I have faith now knowing that you will get through this together. I love you both rember to stay prayed up. Greater is he that is within me than he that is within the world. Love you -Your sister Geraldine Jones

Condolences to the Family. And May God Bless you and keep you Strong.

JD, San and Family: When I heard the news that JD was in a coma, I got on my knees and thanked God for JD. It was JD’s name that my husband called in his final hours and that connection was always a special memory in my heart. When I heard that he had passed I thanked God for his presence here on earth.
