I’m so sorry for you loss. I used to visit Jone when I was little and she did babysit me. She was a very kind person and I always enjoyed going over to the farm as a little girl. She always had a smile on her face. My mom used to tell me how much Jone enjoyed having me at her home on the farm. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. Sending hugs!

Jone was an influence on my mom and thus on our whole family. She is missed. Blessings to you all!
