In loving memory of
NORMAN “Gene” JONES
2/7/60 — 10/21/04

Gene: 
After 11 years of grieving 
I am beginning to feel 
a different kind of grief, 
another side of grief.
Where the tears still flow
Not as often.
Where memories bring smiles
Not just sadness.
Where blessings are recognized
Not just struggles.
Where joy and peace are present
Not just sorrow.
Where you are remembered
Not just mourned.

​Love, Dad,

Greatly missed by children, Taylor, Jessica and Sarah;
mother, Wilma; wife, Wanda; brothers, sisters, 
Mamaw Savanna, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, 
cousins, stepparents, and friends.
