I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.

18 years have gone by.... But your beautiful heart and spirit is still so truly missed. Your children and their children have done your legacy so proudly. Destiny and I often times still reminisce about the moments we spent with you and your family. Especially during the holidays.... Those were some very special memories for Destiny and I. So very glad that you always knew this. But you are our "ANGEL" watching over us in HEAVEN now, and just as you did when your beautiful presence graced this earth.
Forever in my heart and missing you always....
Love,
~Belinda~
Me and Rabon Jr. we’re just talking about what we believe about life after death. I pray you’re alright, and hope to see you again. There are so many things I wished you were here for, which makes me miss you even more. I’ll never forget your voice singing the Kima Jones song, your big smile, your hard laughter, and the jokes/stories you always had to bring a smile/laugh to everyone. I know no one is perfect, but I don’t have any bad memories of you. I know you will continue to be my protector/angel. Kiss everyone who had gone before you and let them know I miss them too. Love you daddy ❤️

Love Forever, Terr
Missing you as always, I think about you everyday, but today hits different because it’s Father’s Day and everyone is with their fathers, and mine is no longer here. You’re always with me, I hear some of the things you used to say and sing to me, so I’ll never lose that. I hope your soul is at peace and we cross paths again. Love, your little girl - Kima
Loving you forever,
Your sister Terri
We have come together to celebrate your birthday, so me and Rabon went to see Firestarter Friday night, I remember you taking me to see the original when I was 9. Rabon remembered how you would talk about how the little girl reminded you of me. We hung out all day Saturday and ended it with bowling, I remember you and mom had your own balls and shoes because y’all played so much. I enjoy reminiscing of old times, and happy to have such great memories of you. I miss you everyday, you were a great father and your children will always represent you in the best way. I hope you’re proud. ❤️ Daddy’s little girl…Kima Jones
Love, Kima Jones
Happy Heavenly 67th Birthday!
We all miss your beautiful smile and personality.
Wishing you were here to see your beautiful children and grandchildren. You would be so proud of them. I know you’re looking down at them and filled with happiness. Say hello to all our loved ones up there. Rest In Peace.
Love always and forever,
Marie ❤️
I miss your beautiful smile and funny personality. You always had a way to make us laugh. Your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
We all miss you and until we meet again may you rest in paradise and say hello to all our loved ones up there with you.
Always and forever in our hearts.
Love, Marie
We leave a tribute for you on this day, but you’re in my thoughts everyday. I miss talking while we work, sending funny emails/texts, visiting and watching movies, confiding in you about everything and just laughing with you. You were a great father, and even better friend. I know you’re holding it down wherever you are, and I hope to see you in my dreams. I love you and miss you so much.
Love- Kima Jones
So much time has passed but the beautiful memories and fun times we shared seem like yesterday. I wish you were here to see your children and grandchildren. You would be so proud of all of them. We all miss your smile and sense of humor. Say hello to all our family and friends. Always in our hearts and until we meet again. Rest In Peace.
Love Marie ❤️
I miss you more than words can say. I miss that beautiful Smile and that goofy laugh. It’s hard to believe you’ve been gone for almost 16 years. We all miss you and remember you and the memories we have that you gave us. See you in my dreams! Until we meet again. Give all the family my love and kisses
Love always Terr
P.S. I know that was you--THANK YOU.
You would be 66 this year and I’m sure you would still be as handsome as ever! We miss you so much, and we’re supposed to be in Atlantic City today to celebrate your birthday (me, Rabon, Raki n Miles) but the Coronavirus got us locked in. I got some shirts made for them in your honor, and we all met up on House Party to have some laughs. I’ll post a couple pics for you and the family to see. I really wish you were here, Amir has grown so y’all and handsome. He’s very smart (honor roll student) and very creative just like you. He has the Jones eyes and bright smile, too! I love you daddy! Muah!
I can’t believe it’s been 15 years since I lost my very first and forever love. There are so many wonderful memories that keeps you alive in us. You would be so proud of Kima who graduates this month from Purdue in Criminal Justice. Rabon grew a beard and he looks so much like you, very handsome. Amir is really growing and now he’s as tall as me. He loves to draw just like you. They all inherited your artistic talent. We all miss you so much and you’ll be in our hearts forever. Until we meet again rest in paradise.
Love you always and forever,
Marie ❤️
Love, Kima Jones
Always, Kima Jones
"Happy (belated) Heavenly 65th Birthday". It is not a day that goes by that you are not thought about..... Our old songs on the radio, a movie (Elvis Presley--your imitations of him were priceless), pictures of your beautiful children (Oh, you'd be so very proud of them), a smell in the air when I'm walking outside or riding in my car with the window down on a clear sunny day, or walking along the beach (Ocean City, Maryland). Yes, pieces of you are still all around me.... And this only confirms what you promised me long ago--THANK YOU.
Forever in my heart & Missing you always,
Belinda
I want you to know we all think about you and miss your beautiful smile and wonderful personality. I’m so blessed to have so many wonderful memories that I’ll never forget.
You’re grandson Amir, was just asking me today when were you born and how he wish you were here. He said to tell you he loves you. I told him that he would have had a great time with you. I’m sure you’re up there celebrating with all our family and friends. Say hello to everyone. You’ll always have a special place in my heart. Until we meet again. Sadly missed but forever in our hearts. Rest In Peace. ❤️
My brothers were group texting about your birthday this morning. They don’t post here, but they haven’t forgotten you :)
Love, Kima Jones
It’s hard to believe how so many years have passed but my memories of you are fresh in my mind. I wish there was a phone in heaven so I could call you and tell you some funny stories about your grandson Amir. He says the funniest things. I’m sure you would have some good stories to tell too. You were always good at that. Your sons and Kima remind me of you with their bright smiles and beautiful personalities. They each have different traits of yours so your spirit lives on thru them. I just spent the weekend with my sister Helen and her husband was saying the guys at the water company where he works still talk about you. He said he remembers when Helen and him were walking in Pennsauken and some guy hollered, “Hey Helen, what are you doing around here and how you doing?” Of course it was you. My family thinks the world of you and that will never change. You always had a kind nature and a great personality that no one could forget. We all miss you so much. You may be gone from my sight but you are never gone from my heart.❤️
I can't believe so much time has passed. I miss you so much. You touched so many lives and are missed dearly. Just like everyone says, there are so many things that remind me of you. Like my boss...funny enough he has the same sense of humor as you...ironic isn't it? What reminds me of you the most though is when I talk to or see my cousins....your sons. They each have some part of your personality...I think Miles does the most though. Just my opinion....lol. But they ALL remind me of you. Wish you were here to see our ever growing family. Not just your children and grands, but your nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephew etc...Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you today and everyday. Miss you. Say hey to G'mom Beats, Grammy and the rest of the family. Love you always, Trae
Something that still remains true to this day that you once told me too never forget during your last months here on earth..... Even though one day your physical presence would have ascended to Heaven, a sign would forever and always let me know that you are still watching over me. "I knew that was you"--THANK YOU.
Forever in my heart,
~Belinda~
I always called you Daddy, but these chicks call everybody Daddy...smh and lol! I can’t bekieve it’s been 14 years! Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. I used to hear people say that and thought yeah right, but it’s true...something always reminds me of you whether I’m flipping through a channel or talking to my brothers. I miss you so much and I hope you’re doing well and still telling jokes! I just wanted you to know that I’m thinking of you on this day :)
Love always, Kima Jones
I’m so thankful for the love we shared and blessed to have two wonderful children. You would be very proud of them and your grandchildren. You will always have special place in my heart. ❤️
Rest in paradise.
There’s a corner of my heart that is yours. And I don’t mean for now, or until I’ve found somebody else, I mean forever. I mean to say that whether I fall in love a thousand times over or once or never again, there’ll always be a small quiet place in my heart that belongs only to you.
Forever & Always,
Belinda
I miss not being able to talk to you everyday. We both loved movies, and every time I see one that I know you would like, I think about you. I miss your jokes; only you could tell them and paint the most vivid pictures. My brothers: Rabon, Raki, Miles and Osiris, all have something they got from you, Your laugh, your walk, your facial gestures, and just that cool vibe. I see or hear it daily so I’m always reminded of you. I told you I would look after my brothers, and they’re all doing very well. I love you and miss you so much!
Your only girl :)
Kima Jones
how much those memories we made, will always mean to me. I’ll always cherish times we had and smile just at the thought, I hope you know the magnitude of joy your life here brought.
On holidays and birthdays, it’s so hard to be apart, Like every day that falls between, your memory fills my heart. You’re with me now where ever I go, you’re part of all I do, I’ll celebrate your special day and the gift of knowing you. Forever in my heart--"Happy Birthday Love.
I wish I could celebrate with you, we would have so much fun! And I'm sure you would be a handsome salt and pepper man; a real cool grandpa. Amir asks about you a lot, and I tell him funny stories and he smiles and says " I know you miss your dad". You were the best father a girl could have. I'm always reminded of you when I talk to my brothers, they all have something of yours. Miles has your walk, Rabon has your sense of humor, Raki laughs like you sometimes (Rabon too), and Osiris asks me about you and is very creative like you (I think all of your kids have your drawing skills). I hope you're good, and that your soul rests in peace.
I'll always love and miss you, until we meet again.
Your little girl,
Kima Jones
I'm so blessed to have had you in my life and shared a love that will last a lifetime. Every time I hear the song "Who's That Lady" by the Isley Brothers it takes me back to us in the black Nova driving to Clementon Lake Park and family drives to Chesilhurst. That was some fun times that I'll never forget. You had a smile that would light up a room and warm the hearts of all those around you. Kima and Rabon have your smile and your mannerisms which is a continuous reminder. You would be so proud of them and their children, Amir, Zerah and Rabon Jordan. I always tell Amir that his Granddad Rabon is looking down at him and he just smiles. If I had a wish I would love for you to see and talk to Kima and Rabon to let them know you're happy and ok. We all miss you and until we meet again may you rest in paradise and say hello to all our loved ones there with you.
Love always,
Marie
There's not a day that goes by that something crosses my path and it reminds me of you..... When Destiny and I are riding in the car, a song will come on the radio and we'll talk about how you loved too sing in the car. (Destiny still sings like a Mocking Bird also, but you already know that.) We'd get to reminiscing about how only you could impersonate Elvis. Then ironically while we're riding in the car, an Elvis song would come on the radio. Then in unison we'd say aloud laughing, "We hear you Sinsai Rabon"!
Yup! Unforgettable that's what you are and what you'll always be..... Forever in my heart.
Love you,
Belinda
I
Love ALWAYS,
Kima
I wish I could give you a card and a gift, and spend the day with you. All I can do is let you know that I'm thinking about you and all of the great memories I have from when you were here. I always let you know then, and I'll let you know today, that you were the best father a girl could ever have. I miss you and I'll always love you!
Until we meet again,
Kima Jones
It was just yesterday-you entered my mind.
I wondered how you were, I remembered our times;
And, the promise I made to you before we parted:
Even though I am gone, I’ll be at your side,
Through laughter and joy, through tears you will cry.
I’m your guardian angel, sent from above,
I’ll be there to protect you, shower you with love.
I promised you, that you would love again,
Remember that transcending love, that once in a lifetime
Love--The love we had.
When I see you in Heaven, I’ll call out your name,
When you’re finally in Heaven, the angels will proclaim.
Even though in Heaven, there are no tears,
A sob from my lips is what you will hear.
I left you there, but I also have to wait,
To see your face at Heaven’s gate.
Tears in Heaven, is what you will see,
When you fulfill your purpose, as I did,
And time calls you home, thereafter to join me.
Forever and Always,
Love,
“Your Guardian Angel--Ray”

Happy Birthday Daddy!
Happy Birthday to my favorite uncle! I miss you!
You were the one who made me laugh when I wanted to, and cry when I didn't. Only you could yell at people for doing something so wrong and so stupid and turn around and make them laugh right afer-unintentionally of course, but that's just the type of person you were. I will never forget the times you stopped in at karate class/ test days included and got in my ass about doing my katas and self defense techniques like my life depended on it. (Because it did-even outside of karate class) You will never know how much it meant to me-you being there. I was always excited and always proud to tell everyone you were MY uncle! Of course everyone thought you were so cute and had crushes lol.
I will never forget the time you were going to chemo and lost all of your hair and wore a beany. Me and kris were going inside grandmom Billy's house right behind you laughing about something that had happened with school and a friend-you turned around and smacked her thinking she was laughing at you being bald and exclaimed "you think this is funny-this is serious!" I will never forget the hurt look on both of your faces- we were too young to really understand at the time- but as adults, we still look back on that moment and know you didn't mean it and never intened to hurt either one of us-it was a tough time- and we still loved/love you very much.
I wish you were here longer and I could still see you and spend time with as an adult. I wish my little girl could have known you and I definitely wish you were around to stay in our behinds especially my brother. I think it would have had a great impact and influence on him. Anyhow, know that I love you and still think of you-whether I'm talking to Rabon (he reminds me so much of you!) or picking up a pencil to draw(because you were the best when it came to that) I love you and will always miss you.
Love you niece,
Iyana <3

Dear Uncle Rabon,
It was great seeing you again this weekend. I am not sure exactly what I want to say in this letter to you. I just wanted to write and let you know that you’re loved and thought about often. I hate to think about the possibility of losing you and wish there was a quick and easy cure for the cancer. Although I pray and hope that you make it through this, I don’t want you to suffer and be in pain. I love you so much, to me it seems you have always been “the man” in our family. I am constantly asking.. why my Uncle.. why my favorite cousins father… why my grandmothers baby boy.. why my mothers baby brother… why you.. I don’t know but I guess we should all be blessed to have you in our lives. It funny every one always knew what could or could not be done around Uncle Rabon. I wish every one I know had the opportunity to meet you and see how wonderful you are and this was my thought even before you were sick. I have been bragging about you for years. All of my friends know about you, and refer to you as “the fine one”. You are the funniest man I know, I love to hear your jokes, and love to see the pictures you draw of our family. I wish my children had the opportunity to be around you in the same way I was. Kyriel would sure have benefited by being around you. Kima and I joke about what you would be yelling, when my kids or other kids we are around start acting crazy or not following directions. I can hear your voice whenever I think about me sucking my fingers… you were the ONLY one I was ever scared to get caught sucking my fingers by. If I heard your footsteps, I would snatch my fingers out of my mouth. Even though you are not my father, I always admired you as a father. I always thought Kima had the best father in the world! Stern yet funny and fun to be around. Then look at Rabon, you raised the first person in our family who will be getting a PhD and in engineering at that. WOW….that boy is smart, fine, funny, sweet and just a cool person to be around, just like his dad. I could go on about how great you are and how wonderful you have been. You are the best, and have always been. Even as a son, you were wonderful. Grand mom and my mom have always told me about how sweet you were as a child. Then you grew up and fixed things for Grand mom, spent time with her having Sunday dinners over her house. I know how special those things are to a mother, and hope my son will grow up and become half the man you are. Uncle Rabon, I won’t continue because I could go on forever with this letter, I just wanted to take the opportunity to let you know how extraordinary you are and have always been not only in my life but all of our lives. When I look at all the people who come to visit you, I think of the relationship you had with them and can tell you had an impact on them at some time or another. I know that God has a plan for all of us and don’t know how much longer he will bless us with your physical presence but I do know for sure, that this family would not be what is without you. I just continue to try to look at the bright side of things so I know if anything should happen, you will always be with us in spirit and I have been a blessed to have you in my life. I consider you the center of our family, you have been the one that every one loves and talks about. I suppose everything happens for a reason, and I believe you Deb were brought together because she is terrific person and able to care for you in such a loving way. I am glad you have her in your life. I wish I had money to pay for her to take a vacation, because she sure deserves it. Well my favorite Uncle take care and I will see you soon. I love you!!!
