RIP Andrew Jones.
Tonight, I raise my glass in a toast to you,
to your smile, your laughter, your priceless
personality that made us love you.
to your friendship, your fatherhood, your brotherhood
and the grownup the kids looked up to.
to your compassion, your affection, your achievements
and even your imperfections that challenged you
to your life experiences, your choices, your mistakes and your
self-improvements that made us respect you
to the loyalty to your friends, your dedication to your children
your unconditional love for immediate and extended family that was so true.
Tonight we toast in your honor, to your memory and to your life
and to being proud and grateful that you were a part of ours in moments of joy,
despair, triumph and even strife.
and so I sign my name to this memorial toast
because I love you “Drew” and I vow to hold your memory dear.
Auntie Char

Jesus is all the world to me. My life, my joy, my all. My friend in trial sore and true to Him I will be. He is my strength from day to day, without Him I would fall, beautiful life with such a friend, beautiful life that has no end. I trust him now, I’ll trust when life fleeting days shall end. Eternal life, eternal joy, he’s my friend. Amen. To Andrew Sr. and Jackie from your sis Estellar Armstead

Chante Adams says
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’ sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am , there ye may be also. and whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. We are praying for the entire family.
