It has been 15 years since you left. However not a day goes by that you are not remembered. You left a legacy that will last a lifetime. Still think of all the funny sayings that you used to say or come up with. Still miss you very much dad. Continue to rest in peace. Love you still.

Daddy,

It has been over a year since you left but your presence is still with us. I miss you terribly and think of you and Mama each and every day. I thank you for making me the strong and independent woman that I am today and also for the life lessons you taught me. I know that you are singing in that heavenly choir along side mama. Christmas is almost here but it will never be the same without the two of you. You and mama were the best parents and I appreciate the many sacrifices you made for us so that we could have the better things in life. Please know that only good memories linger and that I truly cherish that.

My Brother,

I’m grateful God gave you to me as a big brother. You protected me in my youth. You went through many trials and adversities, through out your adult life. You stood up to the challenges of many illnesses, with a christian attitude and put your trust in God. Rest in a well deserved peace.

Your loving sister,

Mildred E. Johnson

The December 16, 2005 Homegoing Service was truly a celebration of the life of Adam E. Jones, Sr. "The Rock," as uncle Adam was affectionately referred to by so many,is truly befitting a man of his character, courage, and stature. The place he holds among the Jones Family members is forever with us. His legacy will last for eternity.

I am one of the many great nephews that is succeeding the Jones Family. I had not seen my Great Uncle prior to the passing of my grandfather Clarence Sr. (19 yrs. ago), until our family reunion this past summer. Uncle Adam was a compassionate man who gained the attention of everyone around him thru his warm personality and character. I can truly say, that He will be missed but not forgotten.

To The Family:

Our time on this earth is short, so we must endure each day, every minute, and every hour with family & friends of whom we love and trust. Knowing that Jesus is the reason for every season and to Him Shall We Trust...

I did not know my great uncle very well, but there is still a lost. The biggest is that we did not know each other. Only for a short visit at the family reunion. Now that the elders of the family are getting fewer, I am hopeing that we find it in our hearts to stay in touch with each other. We are a loving family that needs to get together. May each one who reads this stay in contact with each other, were as the family may become united as one. And in god we must trust, and remember we will see our loved ones again. And may God bless you all.

With Love

Daddy, I thank you for giving me a wonderful life. You showed me how to be strong and independent and to stand tall through adversity. I know that you are up there somewhere singing in that heavenly choir. I am so grateful that God chose you to be my father. Rest in peace.
