Dear Steve and Family,
So sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved mother. So many things she has experienced in her remarkable 100 years, but no doubt one of her greatest joys was having you for such a devoted son! May the fond memories you have shared through the years bring you comfort at this time and may she rest in peace!
With heartfelt sympathy and friendship, Elaine Akin Jones
May you all find comfort in fond memories!♥️🙏🏻♥️
I will always be grateful for all the kindness and support that Mrs. Jamail enveloped me with as a boyhood friend of her son Steve. I could not have had a better neighborhood mom whose steady presence was a source of reliance for me and others in those formative years.
With condolences.
Steve and Family,
So sorry you lost your mom but you were so fortunate to have her so long. Cherish the memories of her and the joys she gave you.
