It is with the deepest of love and sadness that I convey my condolences to Sis Jones, Britt, Divine Word, & the entire Jones family in the passing of our beloved Pastor R.L. Jones. For it was under his Pastoral Leadership that I experienced the true meaning of God's love, grace, and mercy. He was a hands on Pastor and shared his love of god to all he met. I pray that Pastor R.L. Jones light that use to shine so bright will forever shine in all our lives. For I will truly miss him as a Pastor, brother in Christ, and very dear friend.

To the Jones famliy our hearts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow, realizing that we have lost a truly great servant here,but the lord has said I need this great servant with me right now. If the lord said it,then you must believe he is okay now.

Rev. Jones was truly a faithful soldier in God's holy army. He was my inspiration during many tragedies in my life. I will always cherish our friendship. My mother could not have loved him any more had he been her own son. The world needed him; however, our Master needed him more. I remember him singing this verse, "I gotta feeling that everythings gonna be alright," and he was so right. He is alright now, safe in his Master's arms. Rest in peace dear friend until we meet again.

My prayers are with his family. As he told me years ago, "Look to the hills from whence cometh your help, all your help comes from the Lord."
