I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss. Dad Jones was an amazing man who was never without a helping hand, kind word, smile or shoulder for those around him.I am blessed to have known him and will forever keep him, as well as the rest of you three amazing people, in my heart.
Shara, Jared & Conner,
I just can’t express how sorry I am of your loss; I know how hard this is for all of you and have been praying for you. The only comfort in all of this is Ron is out of pain, at peace and playing with his beloved Gracie. He’s looking down on all 3 of you and is so proud of you for how well you have handled this and how good you boys have been to your Mom; taking such good care of her. All the first are the hardest but as time goes it does get better, just keep talking about the good time and laugh at the funny times as this will help. Love all of you and will keep you all in my prayers including Leslie. Hugs, Tammy
I am so sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. I lived in Bromley down the street from him and we grew up together. His parents were active in McKendree Methodist Church, and I knew John and Danny as well. I last saw the brothers in the 1990s and was surprised to read they had also passed. Knowing he had a loving wife and children comforts me. Again, my condolences, and you all are in my prayers.
I am so sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. We lived 2 houses down in Bromley. Everyone knew everyone on our street in those days. When we were little his Mom made Barbie clothes and even a “Barbie house” with shoeboxes as the rooms for me. He on the other hand had the most amazing collection of GI Joes. I had a Barbie -he had a GI Joe-it was a military town-I sense a theme here…alas my way of playing and his idea of GI Joe playing did not work out. He had missions to run, wars to fight. No GI Joe Barbie in those days. I would have embarrassed him totally if I had told those stories during our teen years! I remember thinking that Ronnie Jones was such a sweet guy. Speaking of teen years I remember he had a tent set up in their back yard and always had a big group of friends there. I am glad to hear he grew up to enjoy a family and love and faith. My condolences to you all. A cancer journey is never easy.
