All my love to the Jones - Mr. Jones, Sue, Frank and your families. I feel so fortunate to have known your wife and mother, so many happy memories and lessons from Mrs. Jones - patience, kindness, always open arms with a story when dropping by for a visit at the cottage. And contrary to the inherent stubborn intent when you are a 6 year-old, when she babysat me I grew to learn the value of having an afternoon nap :) Lotsa love, Brent

So sorry to hear about your mom. I hope you find the peace your mom has found?
Thoughts and prayers to the entire family. I will forever cherish that she always made time for all of us on their visits to NS. Her wittiness and jokes we would share are things I will always remember.
