Your Journey Home
You’ve walked the path we all must take,
Beyond the dawn, beyond the wake,
The burdens here are set aside,
In peaceful rest, you now abide.
The hands that held, the heart that cared,
The quiet love you always shared,
Will live within us, warm and true,
A gift from us, a gift from you.
Though sorrow lingers, love will stay,
It lights our night; it guides our day.
Until we meet and walk once more,
Upon that bright eternal shore.
A funeral service for Mr. Jones will be held on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, 1:00 p.m. in the chapel of Bruce and Stiff Funeral Home. The only public viewing will be held two hours prior to the funeral service.
