My condolences goes out to the Jones’ family. Redell was a loyal friend who I worked with for 16 years at Vinnell in Saudi Arabia. He was a dedicated family man, husband, father, and fellow soldier who I will miss. Billy Graham quoted, “No matter how prepared you think you are for death of a loved one, it still comes as a shock and still hurts very deeply, but nothing will ever take away your memories”. May your memories be one that gives you comfort and remind you of happier times. Please except my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. You and your family are in our prayers. God bless Minister Y.T. Jones Jr
