We are so sorry! We enjoyed talking to your mom when she would phone her order in to Reynolds. She always tried so hard to have everything put together and was so appreciative. She always said she had the best family anyone could have been blessed with. Our thought and prayers are with you–she will be enjoying her pralines and pecan ice cream as she talks with Jesus!!

My sincere condolences to the family of Ella M. Jones – The Bible book of Hebrews reminds us that God does not forget all of the love and fine works shown by his servants (Hebrews 6:10). It was never the Creator’s purpose for mankind to suffer or die (Romans 5:12). In the Bible we are promised a resurrection of dear family members and friends that we have lost (John 5:28, 29). I hope that you are comforted by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
