Death of Mimi Jones

"My deepest condolences to the family. May you find comfort in your treasured memories of Your loved one and May God continue to comfort you in the days, months and years ahead."

"To the Jones Family my heart cries out, “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of underserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm.” 2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17.

"Injustice often inflames passions, she will be remembered for her Passion." her love for humankind.

"As a 7 year old in 1964, I was not yet aware of the Civil Rights movement. I was, however, becoming very aware of the Vietnam War..... the dishonesty and hateful divisions among the American people, and what a horrible immediate future awaited me, in our immediate family. I was a little girl growing up, in a big world full of anger, hurt and hate - carefully observing the state of human relationships among Americans. It didn't look good.
Greater awareness came in high school. And then, college. And then, in my worklife, until retirement, just last year. This gifted me with the ability and time - to write forever.
So, to Mimi, about whose long life of love and service I learned today, God bless you in your legacy of meeting hate with acts of love - and an ever stronger solid resilience for overcoming your personal enemies. The haters still exist to this day. The living will remember your sacrifice and terror - and forever fight for you to live freely - the good fight - for all who live here, in America - no matter their color. May God guide me to those who respect Him, and are like-minded. My God bless you forever in heaven - and give you peace. Amen."
