    I will always cherish the fawn childhood memories that I have of your parents. This last few years has been special getting to spend a little time with RB. I know Uncle Talmadge and my dad, Billy and your mom among others are united together once again.

    Denice, Carmelita, and Alan, So sorry for the loss of your father. RB and JoElla were a light in a dim world. I just put up one of JoElla's Old Santa the other day and had many found memories come rushing back. May peace be with you all. Blessings, Janice

    I've known R.B. for a lot of years, and he was and still is a really great friend of mine. I always looked forward to talking to him on Sunday at church and cutting up with him a little too. I really look forward to joining him again in Heaven maybe to cut-up a little more with him and talk about how the good LORD has made all this possible. I love R.B. and I'll really miss his laughter. Denice, Carmelita, Alan and family, we'll be praying for you that the LORD will give you comfort & peace in the days to come. Yours in Christ: Jeff & Marion Parks

    My Dearest Jones Family, My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. May you find a bit of comfort in the knowledge that Uncle RB has gone HOME and is now reunited with Granpa Loice, Grandmother, Uncle Walter, Mom, and Aunt JoElla. I'm sorry I cannot be there with you this week. I love you all. Stanley
