Dad....
He never looked for praises; he was never one to boast
He just went on quietly working, for the ones he loved the most
His dreams were seldom spoken, his wants were very few
And most of the time his worries, went unspoken too
He was there....A firm foundation, through all our storms of lie
a sturdy hand to hold on to, in times of stress and strife
a true friend we could turn t o, when times were good or bad
one of our greatest blessings, the man that we called "DAD"
Don, Karl and Anthony....
Granddaddy...
A man of love, devotion, commitment, and prominence. Always
left a lasting impression on the ones he invigorated. A man that
can walk in a room and showcase smiles is a man of essence.
That man is Deacon Jones, our granddaddy; a man always on a
mission for God. His love and cheer made the world seem clear.
As he sang all of our problems away. Embrace and remember
the love and dedication he's shown to everyone and the positive
impact he's left on everyone's lives. He will always be a Jones,
who with no exception, kept the ease and made the peace!
The Grandkids ....
A Man of many strengths; dependable, patient, virtuous
A Man of few words but thunderous in actions
A loving Man to family, church family and his fellow man
A caring man, who showed compassion for those known
and unknown to him
Did his all to help those in time of need.
A Man of God, had a thirst for God's word
and upon learning the word applied it in his everyday life,
held as a shining example for us to follow as a child of God.

A Light at the End of the Tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a love that awaits me there
All cares and trouble, I will leave behind
As I climb the golden stair.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
There to meet my Lord face to face
And I'll be in the home that I longed for,
Saved by His heavenly grace.

A Tribute to My Husband
...I Don't Need a Special Day
I don't need a special day
To bring you to mind
Tire days I don't think of you
Are very hard to find
Each morning when I awake
I know that you are gone
And no one knows the heartache
As I try to carry on
My heart still aches with sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know
My thoughts are always with you
Your place no one can fill
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still
Forever in My Heart... Sweetie"
