While right now words fail to capture the pain of losing Marilyn, I look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our Heavenly Father return Marilyn to you.-John 5:28, 29; Hosea 13:14. Until that time, may God grant you comfort and strength during this difficult time.

Brian, Dawona, Rick and Chris - I want you to know how special your mom was to our family and I'm very sorry for your loss. I'll never forget her fantastic sense of humor, her sharp wit, ability to tell a great joke, and what a real pleasure she was to be around. When her and Bill got to bantering back and forth, we'd all laugh so hard til our stomach's hurt. Your mom (and dad) make up many fun memories of my teenage years when we all lived in the Salem community. We always had a "blast" talking to "Yard Dog" and "Lady Yard Dog" over the CB radio. It was a real treat to see her at Haley's wedding, where once again, I got to hear her and Bill do some more crazy bantering...They picked up right where they left off! Please know that the Jones family is thinking of you and all your family members at this time, and sending our prayers your way. Sincerely -- Laura
