A Tribute From The Children well Miss You
We'll miss you Daddy, Miss seeing you doing the things you loved to do, Miss seeing your face filled with concern, When we came to you with our worldly cares; Yet you gave us words of advice, Filled with wisdom and authority.
We'// miss seeing you in your garden, Whether it be collards or tomatos. We'// miss you on Sunday mornings When you'd kneel down to pray; Your words to the Father Almighty, Of your love and care for us.
We accept, the Lords p lan, That you go to be with him. But, still we'// miss the father Whom He let us share through the years. We Love You Daddy.

REV. JAMES D. MAS EY, JR., PASTOR
OFFICIANT (
When I must leave you for a little while, please do not grieve and shed wild tears, and hug your sorrow to you through the years. But start out bravely with a gallant smile, and for my sake and in my name, live on and do all things the same.
MR. WARREN G. JONES was born in Bibb County, Georgia on May 2, 1920, to the parentage of the late Mr. & Mrs. John and Eliza Williams Jones. He was educated in the public schools of Crawford County. He served his country during World War II and received an honorable discharge for his outstanding service. He was united in holy matrimony to the late Ms. Catherine Causey and to this union eight children were born. At Damascus C.M.E., he served faithfully as member of the Steward Board, Chairman of the Trustee Board, and the Sunday School. He retired from Civil Service employment after 31 years of loyal service. Some have known and loved him longer than others and have enjoyed the privilege of associating with him at home, at church, and his community. But those of us who really knew him, regardless of the length of time, can truthfully say that his caring spirit made his long useful life one of great fulfillment and satisfaction. His demise came on Thursday, January 30, 1992. He leaves to cherish his memories: Four daughters, Ms. Gail V. Jones, Ms. Diane Jones, Mrs. Ophelia Jones Calhoun, and Ms . Brenda G. Jones all of Macon, Georgia; four sons: Mr. Rollo W. Jones of Bloomfield, Conn., Mr. Vincent Jones and Mr. Michael Jones of Macon, Ga., and Mr. Winfred Jones of Atlanta, Ga.; six grandchildren; one great grandchild; one sister, Mrs. Sadie Causey of Macon; two brothers, Mr. Nolan Jones and Mr. B. T. Jones both of Macon, Ga.; one son-in-law, Mr. Otha Calhoun of Macon; two daughters-in-Jaw, Mrs. Edith Jones of Macon and Mrs. Rochelle Jones of Bloomfield, Conn.; five sisters-in-law, one of whom was very devoted,
Mrs. Callie M. Hart; seven brothers-in-law; and a host of nieces,
nephews, other relatives and friends.
