A TRIBUTE TO OUR GRANDFATHER ROSIAL C. JONES, SR. AKA “POP”
You taught us to have a strong heart and a positive mentality. A new generation of Jones' will be among us. We will teach your great- grandchildren the important lessons you shared with us and how you provided for our family. I'm sad you will not see me graduate, but I find comfort in knowing that you have graduated to a peaceful place in heaven. Your legacy will always live on. We will take care of those that are here and maintain the family just as you did. You live through us now, and I promise you, we will make you so very proud!!
Love, Lil Rod
As we speak with some
degree of grace,
Pop is now in a better place
Looking down on us with a
smiling face.
The love that once held our
family together
Will continue to shadow us
through the worst
weather.
For in our lives you played
a huge part,
And we've had so many
memories That we'll keep
close to our hearts.
You're gone, but will never
be forgotten.
We'll always be together
and your spirit will live in
each one of us forever.
So we will not cry or weep
at your grave,
But we will always
remember the love you
gave.
As you entrust us to use
the Jones family name.
Love you, Jamaal
I know you are looking down on us, telling us not to cry,
But it hurts so bad having to tell you goodbye.
Your departing has touched this family so deep
it’s really hard for me to sit here and not weep.
I know you don't want to see me with tears running down
my face, But I never thought you would leave me here and
go to a better place. I knew you wouldn't be with us
forever. So I'm standing here and keeping it together.
I know you're up there saving me a seat,
But until then I'm going to have our memories on repeat.
CJ & Dominique
You were there from the
start.
You held each of our hands
with your heart.
With every step we took
you were there,
To share your passion, joy,
love and care.
It hurts that you’re gone,
But the memories we
share will never fade.
We know you're with GOD
and will continue to have
better days.
We love and miss you Pop
more than we can explain,
But all we can do now is
continue your proud
legacy as we carry on your
name.
Love you always,
Jordyn
Dear Pop,
The connection we shared was more than could be put into words because it came from deep within our hearts and souls,
where you have created a foundation that can never be replaced. The last moments we shared showed how tight our connection was. God let me know that nothing could ever break the bond we shared, no matter the distance between us. I thank God for you. The conversation we had, no matter how short and sweet, you were always happy to hear from me and I was always happy to talk. I will hold those last words in that special place you have and will always hold in my heart. I made a
promise to you Pop-Pop, a promise that will not be broken or forgotten! Through you, I am a Jones, proud to be one, and I will make you proud! I love you Pop and will carry you with me always.
Forever yours, Victoria
I appreciate all that you have done for my family. You were a great father to my mother and treated her like she was one of your own providing her brothers for protection and the support that she deserves. You treated me as your own grandchild and you will be truly missed.
Always in my heart and never forgotten - Sieaun
