Dear Bill, Angela, and all other extended family of Mr. Rev, Jones,
Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of such a wonderful person. He was very special to me (like a second father) in my youth as I lived across the street from him (and Ruby and Tosha) for nearly 20 years. My mother, Marge, still lives there and we have known him for 40+ years. I would enjoy catching up with him when I came to visit my mother from Florida. I am so sorry that I did not make that walk across the street to see you just one day earlier for our annual visit! Rest in peace Mr. Jones! You were loved by so many! You will be missed by so many, but I hope that all who remain will know that you are in God's loving care and back with your earthly family! God Bless Your family during this most difficult time!
Kathleen (Grady) Paroda

I will miss you Bro. You are with your family again in the presence of God. Tell Tasha I love her and miss her to. You always had encouraging words for me every time I seen you, wherever we crossed paths. Usually at church and Georges Kitchen. I'll miss you my Bro, But you are with your family again. You were an amazing man of God.
