    Today I think of you, Sherry, Kim, Felecia, Kenda, your brother Larry, your dad, your husbands, your children and strech my arms around you and squeeze real tight. I think of your mother one fourth of July years ago and see her smile, her laugh, her joy, her love for her family. I think of the magnolia flower, Sherry shared a gorgeous picture of a magnolia just recently with Mother and Mother smiled. I think like a magnolia that blooms boldly with splendid beauty and magnificence, I think of your mother's first gift of life, I think of your mother's second gift of love that will bloom forever in your hearts, and I think of your mother's last gift of peace and understanding. I think now...no words.. Love, The Jones Family
