Leave a tribute for Donald Jones.
You will be missed, Don. Thank you for taking care of us as kids. You brought a love of history, bowling, and learning about the world to us. I enjoyed watching Jeopardy beside you and having deep discussions about everything. The only thing you could never teach me was to appreciate your creamed spinach. You made us all laugh daily. You cared for and loved our mother for so many years. I think my favorite memory as an adult was playing Wii Golf together in your living room a few years ago. Rest in Peace.
Diane, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Don was a wonderful man. My condolences to you and Liz. Thank you and Don both for always being so good to my mother. Love you and praying for y’all

Lily Kay has known you since she was a newborn and you layed her in your chest and hummed till she fell asleep .. Superman took wings on her birthday Dec 31 .. that’s been 13 years ago .. I’m not sure how many years you and Di and I have know each other but Quentin was a toddler .. y’all were always family and it’s going to be different without you .. one things for sure I’ll never forget Superman and the last time we talked after Dis surgery I told you I loved you and you said I love you too .. I cherish that and all the beautiful memories ..sincerely Deb
