I shall never forget the trip we took with the youth of Reynolds Street to one of our National Youth Conferences. We stopped in Racine Wisconsin to visit with Brother Jones Mother. She allowed us to lay around all over her house the rest of the day and night. We were fed by her and her wonderful church members. The next day we went to worship with her and Brother Jones preached for the congregation. I assume it was the Sermon he had practiced on all the way as he drove that bus full of teenagers. I never said a word, but I heard him mumbling to himself and when he spoke that Sunday I then knew what he was doing. I remember his MOM as a sweet talkative person who loved and gave her all. I truly hope your memories of Mrs Jones will carry on in your life as does Mine.

I am sadden beyond words to learn that another wonderful and kind Church member have left us. We have almost lost the entire generation that help raise us, loved us and taught us in the little White church across the street. Sis Jones was always so encouraging and uplifting even when me and her niece Carolyn did not deserve it. I am sending heartfelt condolences to Pat and the rest of the family. May your love and fond memories strengthen, guide and comfort all of you. She is gone, but never forgotten. RIP Sis. Jones
