Pastor Jones, Dean and Maralee, my deepest sympathy for the loss of Mrs. Jones. She was such a lovely lady and I and my family are very blessed by knowing her and her love for Jesus. What a lovely mentor to us she was when you all were at Windsor Baptist Church.
May God wrap his loving arms around you all during this difficult time of sorrow.
Love always, Denise Brown Argyle
