Rebecca Sue Jones Memorial Writings

Memorial written for Becky's funeral by her oldest brother:

My sister Becky was, quite simply, the best person I have ever known. I felt closer to her than any other human
being. I am so grateful for the many times we spent together, including our week together this past February (2004).
Becky, you will occupy a huge part of my heart for the rest of my life.

An online memorial in The Press by a cousin:

She certainly touched my life as I was going
through nursing school and what a blessing
she was to Aunt Margie too. May the light
and love she brought to others continue to
shine and radiate to us all.

Memorial written for Becky's funeral by her mother and father:

When Becky was about ten years old we started an around the clock prayer chain for two families at First
Baptist Church of Middleville, MI (USA). Forty eight people signed up for half hour time slots. Becky became
aware of the chain as I was one of the men who circulated the sign up sheets. She signed up. The next
morning I heard her alarm clock ring at 3:00 AM. Then I heard her slip out of bed to kneel and pray.

Becky's entire life has been characterized by caring and giving of her time, talents and resources. Countless
lives have been touched and blessed by her gift of helps. "I was hungery and you fed me, I was discouraged
and you lifted me up. In as much as you have done it unto these my brethren you have done it unto me...Well
done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your reward."

Good-bye for now Becky. We look forward to seeing you again on that grand and glorious day when Christ
returns and saints from all the ages gather around His throne!

Love, Dad and Mom

PS: Thanks for being so precious!

Memorial Placed On June 1, 2006 In The Press - By James Edwin Jones, surviving husband of Rebecca

Rebecca Sue (Curtis) Jones
Aug. 29, 1966 - June 1, 2004

I remember the touch of your hand, the smell of your hair, the sound of your voice.
Thoughts of you are as clear as ever!
You made an indelible imprint on my heart that time can't erase.
We once said, "Til death do us part"
It doesn't stop at death!
The love we shared is still with me.
Nothing can change the fact we were and are soul mates.
One day, my love, we'll continue this very special love in a different place and time.
One day, on the New Earth, together we'll explore the vast new world our Creator has awaiting all who believe in Him.
We'll breathe in the celestial air of Heaven.
We'll sample the scent of a billion different wild flowers.
We'll dance to the music of a billion different birds.
We'll then rest on the lush, warm grass near a soft flowing stream.
And there, we'll look back at what was 'time',
and laugh in the face of time.....forever!

"Precious"

Did you hear a still, small whisper--
sense a flutter of angel wings--
did you close your eyes
and open them upon invisible things?
Was there a fleeting, shining moment
when this world dissolved away?
Did you wish, as you were rising,
that you could stay?
I don't know--yet.
You cannot tell me--yet.
It seems a million days
since we last met,
but I know where you are
and Who you have for company.
Before, when you would travel
you would send a card to me:
"Wish you were here!"
Well, sometimes I wish it too,
and if it weren't a one-way trip
I would come to stay with you.
Perhaps soon we will sit down again together
and laugh just like before.
You'll tell me your adventures
but now--I only miss you more.
It's a pain you cannot share
for where you are--no tears,
no sin, no dark regrets,
no misunderstanding, and no fear.
So I go on grieving for your husband, parents,
children,
and all they've suffered through--
I grieve for myself--
but I never grieve for you.
