Tom & Jerry, I was so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. Glad she was able to stay active until recently. Your mom and dad were such good friends of my folks, both in and out of the church. Jonesy was so sweet and friendly and I always enjoyed seeing her. She will be missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
