The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.
This is my Dad’s oldest son, Clifford Dexter Jones, writing on behalf of
myself, my brother Steven Michael Jones, and my sister Sandra K. Dixon
regarding the loss of my Dad, who was number # 1 in our eyes. The three of us had an awesome childhood growing up in various locations.
My Dad provided for all of us, all of the time. My parents had their 66th wedding anniversary on March 17, 2017. They were loving parents for 63 years of that time together.
Growing up, I was called Clifford, of Cliff. I now call myself Dexter Jones to honor my Father, as that was also his
middle name. Though he has physically passed, our Dad will forever be with us in spirit.
Our years with him taught us to be honest, to communicate clearly, to be faithful,and most of all, to be kind to others.
Thank you for reading this about our wonderful Dad.
Condolence: I wanted to send my sympathy and love to the Jones Family. I did not know Mr. Benjamin Jones but I know his son, Dexter, from the church I attend. If Mr. Jones was anything like his son Dexter, he certainly was an awesome man. I believe he was that and more. He seems to have left an amazing legacy to so many. God bless you all and I hope we all meet again someday in heaven. Sending my prayers and love to you all. God Bless you.
Condolence: Laughter and joy will always surround our memories of Ben. Whether faking his traveling house blind salesmanship or spinning a tale/prank from his youth, most every sentence was punctuated by his famous laughter.
Marrying into the Jones' extended family more than 50 years ago, began a journey that even my wildest imagination could not reach. Among the first adventures was a trip to Baltimore to visit the founding "mother" of all fun and love, Lillian Powell Jones. That's where Ben, Petti, and 3 little Jones
kids came scampering into my life. Little did I know the fun, laughter,
and joy that would eventually be mine for having made the wisest of all decisions, marrying Ben's cousin, Susan.
At this very minute Ben's voice, mostly his unique laughter, echos in my head. The joyful entertainment of shared conversations with Ben and Susan (my wife) are uplifting and remind us of the richness of cherished human relationships.
No need to worry about Ben. Without question he has already been assigned first jester role in the Lord's entertainment court.
For those who wish to hear Ben's laughter again, call his son, Steve. That famous sound is alive and well for still another generation resounding through his more youthful vocal cords.
Susan joins me in love, admiration, and appreciation to all of Ben's family.
We especially thank Clifford for keeping us so well informed.
Condolence: Dear Family:
Please accept our deepest condolences to your family for the loss of your loved one. May you be comforted by knowing that the Almighty God is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18) Our King Jesus Christ told us to pray for the Kingdom to come on earth in the Lord's Prayer. (Mathew 6: 10) That Kingdom will put an end to all of the pain and suffering we experience today. May the beautiful memories shared with your loved one along with knowing that we will be able to see our precious dead loved ones again in the near future when God's Kingdom rule over the earth grant you peace and comfort at this difficult time. (John 5:28,29)
Sincerest Sympathies,
The Webb Family
Condolence: I am so very sorry to read about the passing of your dear loved one, I pray that your family will find comfort in the God of all comfort Jehovah. I too have experienced the sting of death and although it is never easy to say goodbye to those we love, I was able to find much hope in Gods word the bible. Isaiah 33:24 And no resident will say:"I am sick" The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error. Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither wil mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away... What a wonderful time we all hav e to look forward to when no one will ever again get sick or die.
Condolence: May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time,
May you come to know that the love of God is with you always,
May your memories of Benjamin D. Jones, give you peace, comfort and strength…
Rest now in the arms of our Lord your mission on earth is complete.
I thank you for your service to our Country and my Freedom. You will not be forgotten..

and prayers to the family of ….
