To:All members of the Jones Family, I was fortunate to have known Zola Mae.My sister and I would get our hair done by Zola when we were little.Oh,how I loved the smell of the apple shampoo as she washed my hair.Forgive me if I can't remember all the names but,I do remember"Tweety,Ethel Mae", just to name a couple and I also worked with Zola's brother driving bus with NOPSI.Grieve if you must but,only a little while.You will see Zola again and the next time will be forever.Remember death is the destiny of every man.Even if God had given her an opportunity to return to earth,she wouldn't want to come back.God gave her to us for a little while but,she always belonged to him... Miss her but let her go... I will keep you all in my prayers. Denise Gay Bierria [email protected]
