Condolences

The family of Lola A. Jones has received the following condolences.

I'm sorry I'm in Tucson and unable to attend Lola's funeral and the opportunity to say my" farewell".  I'm sorry also that she departed when I am here, as I very much wanted to see her family, each of her children & their spouses as you've been very much apart of our conversations over the last 40 yrs. and I know it would have been my last opportunity to see & visit with each of you individually. I truly regret that.   God did not plan it that way and it's my loss.

I'm sorry for our loss but it's been evident over the last few years and hope you feel too that she's been waiting to join Tiny and Terry and it has now  transpired.  I'm sorry that you've lost your Mother but can't help believe she's in a better place.  She was a wonderful neighbor, friend & confident to me and so many others and I will miss her.  Thank you all for sharing her with me, my husband & family. May God be with you all as I'm sure she is with Him now.  Jan Gonnella

P.S. A memorial donation will be sent to a Dr./ priest in Niarobi, Kenya that has been very instrumental in building two hospital complexes & clinics for the poor and serves the people there.  I think Lola would have liked that as he was a member of Pax Christi when he was at Mayo and had a delayed vocation to the priesthood.    

KC, Julie & Family,

We are so sorry to hear about your Mom.   We will be thinking of all of you in the difficult days ahead.  We are sending you a big hug.....

Love, 

Tammy & John

 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the family. Especially my Dad, Neen, Sue and K.C. who lost their Mom Sunday.
