It's been 6 long years since you left us. I miss you and think of you every day. Sometimes it's a phrase you always said like "you get what you pay for" or the scent of your after shave or a food you liked. You have so many Children to be proud of and Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. We take peace in knowing you are in a far better place. R.I.P. dear. We all love you.

Well today is your Son Jimmy's birthday. He is 43 today. Tomorrow will be your birthday and Tuesday will be Kellie's. Then we have Mia's Kellies Daughters birthday the 16th and Alessia's birthday(Nikkis Daughter) her birthday the 30th and finally but not least Ashley's birthday July 27th, Patty and Dave's Daughter. July has always been a full month for us. Not to be forgotten, tomorrow the 10th of July would have been your 84th birthday. You'll be celebrating it in Heaven with Family and we'll remember you here on Earth. We miss you!!! Every now and then someone will say one of your famous sayings like "you get what you pay for" and many more. You may be gone from us but certainly not forgotten. I talk to you a lot and hope you can here me. I miss you but someday we'll be together again. Love you Phyllis
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Well 2 days ago was our 66th wedding Anniversary. I thought of you so many times that day, I think of you a lot everyday. Seems like it's not possible you are not here to be with me. I hope your life in Heaven is peaceful, full of joy and time with your family. Give them all a hug for me. Love you always, Phyl

Here we are 3 years later. It seems like forever. We miss you today as much as we did 3 years ago. Sometimes when things happen that are not pleasant I say "Dad was the lucky one". Life gets lonesome without you. You have missed so much. Nikki and Tony both married, Tony and Sheena have a handsome Son (Calvin), Nikki and Ron have a handsome Son (Giovani), Ashley and Arthur have a beautiful Daughter (Aria Rose) . The Cubs won the World Series in 2016, hoping for another win this year. Tyler is going to graduate High School on the 20th of May. All this without you. I just wish you could have been here to see it all with us. Miss you until we meet again. Love Phyllis
Phyllis Jones left a message on April 25, 2017:
Well we have another Great Grandson, Giovani Richard Herrara. He was born April 11th to Nikki and Ron. He is a duplicate of Tony when he was born. He weighed 8lbs 8oz and 20 inches long. Loved by all. Maybe you can look down and see him, I sure hope so. Love you and miss you still. Phyl

It's been a while since I left you a message on here but talk to you everyday. So much has happened, Tony and Sheena have a little boy "Calvin Ray" who is a carbon copy of Tony and such a sweet smile. Nikki is expecting a little boy in April, not sure what they are naming him yet. Jovone is in college at Carthage. I went to spend a weekend with Jimmy and Family a month ago, they are doing well, Ty will graduate in May or June. They are all growing so fast. To say I miss you would be an understatement. I'm wanting to visit Ky and see Bea and family in May if possible. If I make it I will visit your resting place but you are always with me in my heart. Love and miss you. Love you always. Phyl

Well here we are celebrating the 3rd Fathers Day since you left us. We miss you as much today as we did 3 years ago. It seems like the hurt never goes away. I hope you are with your family and happy. The one thing that helps us to accept the fact you are gone is that you are pain free and know all your family. We love you very much and miss you. Everyone is well except David who had heart surgery last month and is recovering and Diane has a liver problem that could call for a transplant at some point. I'll try to be better about posting notes and just know I love you and miss you. Love Phyl
Phyllis Jones left a message on May 10, 2016:
Well 2 years ago I lost you to our Maker. I take comfort in knowing you are no longer in pain and are with your Family. We all miss you and Diane keeps flowers on your resting place. She has been really good about that. There will never be a smile like yours and every now and then will say a remark you used to say like " you get what you pay for". Want you to know I am doing ok and miss you so very much. Love you, Phyl

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you Billy and the entire Family in Heaven. Give Mary a Birthday hug for all of us. Love you always, Phyl
Phyllis Jones left a message on December 24, 2015:
Well Billy we had another Christmas party for the family without you last Saturday night. Everyone was there and we had a great time. Lyndas girls didn't make it and of course David and Diane and their families weren't there. We laughed and told old stories that really entertained some of the younger folks. The food was great and of course the main ingredient wasn't there "YOU". We all missed you but like I always say " he is here with us in spirit. Smiling down with those big brown eyes. Love you and tomorrow will be another lonesome Christmas. Love you and miss you!!!!!!! Phyl
Phyllis Jones left a message on December 3, 2015:
Well Billy, I have moved in with Patty and Dave. Just a change of scenery. No problem with Lynda. It will soon be Christmas again and another holiday without you. Everyone is doing ok. Ashley is expecting a little bundle from Heaven in April. Her name will be Aria Rose. She is doing fine. We will be having our Christmas Party for the Family the 19th and I know you will be with us in spirit. We all love you and miss you. Love you Phyl

Hi grandpa, well the kids first day of school was yesterday. Mia is in 3rd grade and Jacob is in full day kindergarten. While they are at school I watch 8 month old twins Tyler and Alivia during the day. Jacob is taking a little break from hockey because we signed him up for tackle football. He had practice on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. He is really enjoying it. Mia is taking piano lessons, a drawing class after school and ice skating. I'm keeping them busy and out of trouble!!! I miss you so much and wish you were here to hug and kiss!!! Xoxoxo love you so much, Kellie Bellie

Well another event we missed you at although I am sure you were there in spirit. Our Granddaughter Nicole married Ron tonight in a beautiful outside gazebo wedding. Your picture was there along with Jim and Nikki's Dad Jose. Bobby gave the Bride away and we all enjoyed the evening. It would have been more enjoyable if you had been with us. Steve, Shannen and I are leaving for Ky in the morning. Bea is very ill and I am going down to help out with the sitting with her at the hospital. Please pray for Bea. Pull some strings if you can, lol. I love you and miss you. Love Phyl.

Well another event without you. Mia's 8th birthday was celebrated Saturday with a wonderful party. The kids Jacob, Janiya Alessia and Chase and of course a bunch of friends enjoyed a water slide and animal show. Then Sunday we went to Patty's for a Bridal Shower for Nikki. She and Ron are getting married Aug. 7th. We all missed you. Nikki was so happy because Kathy came to celebrate with us. They all, not me Lynda, Kathy or Pam, lol enjoyed the pool. Missed you. Love Phyl

Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY darling. Today is your 82nd birthday but your 2nd birthday in Heaven. We all miss you so much and wish you were here to celebrate the day with us. Diane will be there to visit you today and we will be down there sometime soon. Life seems empty without you. After 63 yrs with you I find it hard to not be able to take care of you and talk to you daily. Those big brown eyes and the smile I miss so much too. Love you and we will be together some day again. Love Phyl

Well 64 years ago today in Union County Indiana we were married. Our lives had a few bumps in the road but all in all we had 63 years of love and happiness. I miss you and think of you everyday. The time we were together went very fast and the days without you are long. Love you always. Phyl

Well Thursday I attended the 8th grade graduation of our Grandson Aaron. He is such a good young man and quiet like you and Jimmy. He is 5'11 1/2 " already. He is an ace pitcher and wants to go to Vanderbilt. Steve, Pam and Shannen took me to Jimmy's and we had lunch afterwards. It was a good time. The only bad thing about it was you weren't there to enjoy it with us but I was hoping you were looking down and smiling. We all miss you. Give all the relatives a hg for us. Love you always. Phyl

Well it's been 1 year to the day since we lost you and Heaven gained an Angel. I think of you everyday. I will continue to remember you everyday until we meet in Heaven. Hug all the Family who has gone before and tell them I love them. Jacob wants to get a text message system to send messages to Heaven to his Great Grandpa. I think it's a great idea. Love you always. Phyl

Hello Daddy.... tomorrow will be a year since you passed and went to heaven. It does not seem that long ago, maybe because that time is still so fresh in my mind. It helps to easy the hurt knowing that you are not in pain or confused anymore. I talk to you a lot and hope that you can see that you are very loved !!! I am so happy that you had a moment where you knew who chase was and i got to see you two together, i will cherish that forever!!! you sure loved all the babies in the family.. " Give me your sugar" you would always say and tickle under their chin. WE all miss you so much and i know you are with your family who passed before you having a JONES reunion!! Tomorrow Is Mother's Day too and as i share the love of my children i will be remembering my Daddy !! xoxo Patty Pooh

Well here it is 2015 and we celebrated New Years Eve without you. We all and I mean all but Diane & Don and family and David celebrated Christmas on the 20th of Dec. You would have been so proud of how everyone laughed and enjoyed each other. We had such a good time we decided to do it every 3 months. I know you were up there looking down on us and smiling. I miss you so much. Keep watching over us. Love you always. Phyl

Well Thanksgiving will soon be here and yet another Holiday without you. So many things have happened, Kathleen is in ICU and having problems. I pray for her recovery. Several minor things going on but nothing serious. Tony is driving the Caddy and enjoying it. Soon will be Christmas, seems strange with out you and lonesome too even though I have all the Children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. Rest well and hug all our dear Family members. Love Phyl

Well yesterday Billy I attended the wedding of our Granddaughter Ashley and Arthur Schroeder. It was beautiful Billy, they are so right for each other and he loves the little man (Chase) with all his heart. I wish you could have been there to enjoy it. Maybe you were looking down and seeing everything. I hope so. They all missed you, even Arthur said he wished you had been there so he could meet you. Ashley had a picture of you in a medal in her bridal bouquet. You were with us in a very special way. Love you always. Phyl

Hi grandpa, I didn't realize that I could come on here and talk to you. I think about you everyday. This is gonna sound kinda weird but the other day I put on a white t-shirt and as I put it on it smelled like you. It reminded me of when I would spend the night at your house over the summers or weekends and would borrow one of your t-shirts to sleep in. I think of you everyday and miss your hugs and kisses. Even the knee squeezes!!!! Love and miss you so much!!!! Your Kellie Bellie

Dad I miss you so much. I just wish you knew that I paid Mom the $800.00 back plus the extra $200.00 to keep it from getting her in trouble. I should have never kept it a secret from you. Atleast I left you a dollar in your front pocket. I love you more than you ever know. I hope you rest in peace knowing what is happening with the money fron the house sale. I LOVE YOU DAD Your Son, David

Well they put the headstone on today. I'll be coming down after Ashley and Arthurs wedding to make sure it looks ok. You no longer will have just a little marker but a nice headstone to mark your final resting place. I love you and miss you. {hyl

Well today was our Granddaughter Ashley's bridal shower. Most of the ladies in the family including Alessia and Mia were there. We had a great time and Ashley got a lot of nice gifts. Just wish you were here to see her get married. Arthur is a very nice young man and a great Dad to Chase. Will be thinking of you as the day approaches. Love you always. Phyl

Well Billy we would have celebrated our 63rd Anniversary on the 9th of June. I thought of you all day and how you would ask me "what day is this?" and I would act like I didn't know to tease you. You knew I was teasing and say "how many years" I missed you asking me that. Will love you always.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
