Accept what God allows for He is to wise to error and to just to fail. God needed another rose for his garden so he just plucked that in which he planted and brought her home. Family stay encouraged and know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD. All of Mrs. Jones problems are now over and no more pain or suffering for she is in God's hand. We will forever cherish her memories. May she Rest In Peace.
