Dear Tommy, Nancy & Mrs.Jones:
So sorry to hear of your loss, but so happy I had an opportunity to see and speak with Mr. Jones at Allison's wedding last year. Though most of my memories of Mr. Jones are 30+ years old (ugh!) they are most pleasant. He set quite an example for me of a true gentleman. I know he will be missed, and my prayers and best wishes go out to all of y'all during this sad and difficult time.
My sincere condolences,

Hi Nancy,
I want to offer my condolences to you, your mother and the rest of your family. I don't remember the first names of many of by friend's parents but, Tom and Louise have always stuck with me. I only met your father once but he left a lasting impression. I still smile at the thought of him calling a man's necklace, a dog collar.

Dear all,
Thinking of you... I have a wonderful picture in my mind of Tom Jones--smiling, energetic, kind--a true Southern gentleman. His gentle spirit and quick wit will be missed. May God bless you all. Sandra
