…ill always remember going to her house as a small boy… She always had fresh home made cookies and id get to eat them…
Mrs. Jones was a wonderful lady and was a huge part of my life. I remember sitting and talking with her over many years of my childhood. I actually got the chance to introduce my children to her and they truly loved her. My heart breaks to know she is gone, but I also know she is watching over us all. The world is less without her, but Heaven is stronger with her. My sincerest condolences to the family and those she touched. Tammy Stevens Barrile and Family
Mike and Johnny, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am praying for you and your family. Brenda Farmer
