I well remember 'Mrs Jones' as the lovely, gracious wife of my boss, John Jones, during my Cummins-Chicago days on Ravenswood (1968-1973.) She was unfailingly kind and generous to us all, especially this young green secretary, and her visits were always a bright spot, filled with her warmth and good humor (and often several children to liven up the place!) How fortunate you all were to have her; how glad I am to have shared in some of her goodness and grace. She remains in my memory even after all these years, and all of you will remain in my prayers.

It was always a pleasure to see Mrs. Jones at Century Club, and will never forget her inspirational kindness and love that she showed all of us.

I lost my Father just before Easter 2 years ago and each year when remembering him I can't help but think that perhaps this Holy Time of year prepares those who are dying for their homecoming and God graciously takes them at the same time. I find comfort in this and hope your family will too.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time.
