To The Jones Family:
Keep looking to the hills from whence cometh your help. Although our mother went to be with The Lord many years ago; it was Reverend Jones whom was by our side and in the storm with us. He and Reverend Pugh always going the extra mile to ensured that a christain membership meant something at Isle of Patmos Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. Each of you have our deepest sympathy. Reverend Jones loved my mother's Margaret Frost Sweet Potato Pie. You're in our prayers.

Tyrone IV and Christopher, you are in my heart and prayers. I'm going to miss my Uncle Tyrone deeply. We wouldn't see each other for years, but I knew he loved me and he knew I loved him. It was his smile and love that I will always remember and continue to carry in my heart. His work is done here, but his love and memory will always be on the job. He's home!

Upon our return from Forestville, MD to Green Street Baptist Church in '88, my son, ( who has passed on), was captivated by his voice and his sermons. He left soon afterwards, but the time that I was able to meet and speak with him made a lasting impression on us. Sending up prayers for your continued faith and strength.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Tyrone IV and Christopher, my thoughts and prayers are with you on the transition of your father from Earth to Heaven. I think of you as part of my family because our connection goes from Augusta, GA to Louisville where your dad served as My Pastor at Green Street Baptist Church. I pray that God grants The Jones Family peace and strength during this time of reflection and sorrow. I always loved hearing Reverend T.P. Jones, III deliver messages and his singing. May God be with you. The Morgan Family love you!
