I was blessed to have Melvin D. Jones as my grandfather. He was an amazing man. His faith and walk with the Lord was indescribable. I will cherish all the memories and laughs we shared. Your wit and sense of humor was one of a kind. You were a huge part of my heart and soul. You lived to be 97 years old.

My condolences and prayers go out to the Jones family. I am a dear friend of Mr. Jones granddaughter Gina. I know what he meant to his daughter and granddaughter. They loved him dearly. My hope is that you all find peace in knowing that he's now with our Heavenly Father. To be absent from the body is to be present with GOD. If there is anything that my family can do please let us know. Praying ? for you all. From The Blair Family, TX.
