I am giving my condolences to my family and friends of my auntie Mary. She was truly an encouragement to me all my life. She always told how handsome I was and very good young man. She would have me laughing as talked my Uncle James her husband. They both were characters to be reckoned. She will be truly missed and she was the last auntie living before her passing into eternity. Love you Aunt Mary RIP❤️❤️❤️

Mary's kindness, love, and gentle spirit were a true blessing to everyone who knew her. I am praying that the Lord surrounds your family with His peace, strength, and comfort.
On behalf of the First Chronicles Community Church we would like to extend our deepest condolences. Pastors Willam & Co-pastor Lucas. We are praying for the Jones Family.
Mary was a devoted mom to her kids who she loved very much. She loved everyone that can in her path. I will always remember and cherish the days and moments with her. I will never forget that she also help me to learn how to drive and went with me to get my license. I will always remember her and keep her in my thoughts. Mary was also the kind of person she would do and give you anything if she had it to give. God I thank you for what time you did give to us with her and may you Rest Peacefully In The Lords arms.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
