Deacon Jones sold me a TV and I made sure I made my payments on time as I did not want to be sitting in church with him knowing I owed him. I left Mt. Sinai at one point and Deacon Jones called me and encouraged me to come back. He and his wife both were very nice to me. A very quiet man of God but showed kindness to me. May God grant his family peace and comfort ❤️❤️❤️

My heartfelt condolences go out to the family of my uncle Jesse. I speak for his surviving brother Willie Jones myself and our extended family members. My dad is unable to travel and is under my care. I remember them both bring men of few words even when in the same roomr Uncle Jesse called me to check up on us every couple of months He was kind and soft spoken Dorcas Moore (Jones) Prayers and thoughts to all the family

Good bye granddaddy. We miss you a lot. It's saddened but God knows his reason. Our hearts are broken but as Christian, we remains happy in the site of the lord.

I am so sad to lose my uncle. My mom can’t handle that ride neither can I. I had 3 strokes they say and I lost my hearing and can’t walk that good. My mom is taking care of me.

My heart is saddened with death of Uncle Jessie. Sorry cannot be there with you all at this time. Know that we are thinking about you all and our prayers and love is with you. We love you all..Brenda Brooks Sims
