Well, words can not express condolences to the Jones, Credle Family. Cousin Clara was thoughtful, sincere, and a genuine respondent. Her love, friendship marveled the relationship. She testimony to visit. Revelation 21:4 and He will wipe away every year from their eyes; and there will be no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning , or crying or pain; the first things have passed away." My last visit cousin Clara sat at the kitchen table counting, separating medicine. Just recent returned from the hospital (2020). She's in a better place now. God chose his vessel, to cross over. With LOVE, Ms. Veronica Tate & Family.

To the Jones and Credle family, It's hard to lose someone who meant so much to all of us, and even harder that we can't all be together to say good-bye. We want you to know we're praying for the family today and for the days to come. Thessalonians 4:13-18.

Pastor C.A Felton Jr. & Family

Sincerest condolences to the immediate family. I too will miss cousin Clara. I have fond memories of the life lesson talks, laughs and food with much wisdom while doing my college Internship in Mesic. Cousin Floyd and Clara made their home a safe haven in 1978/79. She and Aunt Mollie made the best biscuits outside of Grandma Freddie. We must continue to cherish the memories and pass on such wisdom. I don't weep in knowing God blessed her with 82 years and his Blessed Assurance. Family, "Thy will keep you in perfect peace as you keep your mind stayed on thee". In his will ! Cousin Joseph P. Credle, Wife Yolonda and Family. Joliet, Illinois

"LORD HAVE MERCY",ONE OF CLARA'S FAVORITE SONG.

I will miss my cousin Clara Bell, because whenever we saw each other we just had to talk for a few minutes. She and I would always have a special conversation Her beautiful smile was always shining bright. We always recognized each other mostly I think was because of our family connection. Her father, Johnie Credle and my grandmother Elethia Credle Jones was first cousins. When I was young, Mama, took me with her when she visited her relatives in Mesic or go to church at Mt. Olive M.B Church. Her second home. Also, I used to see cousin Clara, when I would go to church at Mt. Olive with my Daddy, Wesley Davis, Sr. Family you have my heartfelt condolences. FAMILY, GOD WILL TAKE OF YOU! Be Blessed! Ruth Jones Ligon
