November 4, 2023 at 1:09 pmTo the family. We are so sorry for your loss. The death of a love one can be extremely difficult to cope with. Many have found comfort in the promise found there at Acts 24:15. There it speaks about the Resurrection. Do draw comfort in the promise found there and please know you and your family will be in our prayers…MaryAnn

November 6, 2023 at 12:30 pmI would like to send my condolences to the Jones family. I am a family cousin, who met Mr. Jones years ago as my cousin David met and married Anita. We have had some laughter in the past. My heart is with you at this time.
