Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I know my Aunt Barb is smiling. She has all her babies together now. I will miss my cousin. But the memories will always make me smile. Before we all grew up, we had so much fun on the river banks. Rest Well Cousin 💗 We will see each other again 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

  2. My brother by another mother gone too soon. So many fond memories of my cousin will always hold a special place in my heart.

  3. Growing during my childhood days, my father was never present in my life. Spending a lot of time with hanging out with Cheyenne and Andar at their house, Jan always welcomed me to their home and treated me like his own as well. Jan was loving and always made sure laughter was in the heart! His light will forever shine through his children and live forever. My sincere condolences and prayers to Cheyenne, Andar, (Spouses), and grandchildren.

  4. Papa Jones…you the coolest. You’re going to be missed so much. You seen me go from a teenager to a grown man. Dominoes was awesome when you play with Roderick and I. The jokes you make, the knowledge you shared…You was always very welcoming to me, when I would come by, as if I’m one of your kids as well. You projected so much positivity, very laid back and a very chill person. You are going to be so greatly missed man, I cannot even explain for myself how much this has impacted me, however I could not imagine how deeply those that really knew you are hurting the most, due to your departure. The greatness you were to all of those who knew you and had actually sat down and conversed with, you will never be forgotten sir. Rest easy til we meet once more.

  5. Cousin Jan you will be truly missed by many of us, friends and family! We have been called to surrender to God’s will.HIs will is perfect, which is not a word that even makes sense. It shouldn’t from. an earthly perspective! We may never know what God is accomplishing by our sorrows, our suffering, our heartache. But we can be assured His purpose will stand, and that He only wants good for His people.
    There is still sorrow, sadness, tears, and all the rest, but there is tremendous hope that transcends all of that and makes the loss much more bearable. John 14:3-4: Jesus says, “When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am”. Rest well my cousin until we meet again!

  6. Dad, so many memories. I’m at a loss of words. You would to say to me “Rooney the vibe in the house is not the same when you’re not here.” whenever I left for work. And actually, now, it’s not the same without you here. Only this time you’ll be peeking in from heaven. How your loving sentiment has come full circle. I love you always Dad. 💜🕊

  7. Although we were first cousins, you were my like my Brother. In my heart, you will always stay loved and our special moments never forgotten.
