    I couldn't be more blessed to be able to say I grew up knowing Mr. Jones and the entire family. He was a great friend and I loved him like my own father. If it wasn't for his and Beverly's love for my mother, Mary Heckert, she would've been lost. Heaven is gaining a great man and my memories will always be with me. My love to Beverly, Cheri, Jimmy, Eric Tommy and their families. Karen Heckert Doty
