Our thoughts and prayers for the entire family. W. H. & Irene Johnson
I once got to to go to Mrs. Jone’s home with Mom & Dad, it was the first time I had the chance to meet her. I was not sure what she would think of meeting her daughter’s stepdaughter, but she was nothing but warm, kind and loving. She was such a lovely lady and I know she will be missed by so, so many.

It was Christmas night a few years back. Grandma Sandra went and brought Mrs. Daisy to my mother’s. Grandma thought she’s love to see all of moms decorations, And Boy Did She!!! That is a night I’ll never forget. She didn’t want to leave because it was so pretty. Thoughts and Prayers go out to the family -Amanda Carlyle Reader
