We will always remember Mr. Jones' warmth and kindness! He and Mrs. Jones drove all over the country to visit family and friends. How he loved to share the abundance from his gardens. He grew the best tomatoes I've ever tasted! Rest in peace. With our love, Dr. and Mrs. Bob Martinez

Pastor Jones was a mentor and encourager to me I will never forget his deep voice and how he preached Gods word. I know he is in a beautiful place and has no more sickness or pain. My deepest sympathy goes to Sister Jones their sons and family
