I've just learned of the death of my dear grade school and high school friend, Pat.  I spent many afternoons at the Richards' home on Oliver Street.  I  especially remember a day in Sister Helen Patrice's  seventh grade at BSS when I got sick and Pat was the only one to stay after and help me clean up!  Even today I remember the extraordinary kindness.  
My deepest sympathy to Pat's many relatives.  What a rich life she had!

To all of the Jones Family I want to send my condolences for your loss. I have many many great memories of Mrs Jones who was always so kind to us kids growing up. She was a wonderful woman and another of the many great people that made up our Fulbright Court family.

Meems, 
We were lucky you were ours. I didn’t know it then but I know now for certain that we were the luckiest kids in the world. The holidays, the birthdays, the Sunday’s, the beach days,  you made all of them so special for us. We can never thank you enough times for it to be the necessary amount. Thank you. 
I know you couldn’t stand to be here any longer after the Redskins name change. Sunday’s won’t feel quite the same without you but we’ll keep cheering for the Washington football team because it is what you would want!! I love you forever and we will miss you. HTTR

Sending love and hugs to Karen and all
Of the Chevalier family!  We feel so blessed to have known your mom.  Her love for family and her zest for life will continue to radiate in all of you.   Please know that we will be with you in spirit on Thursday!  🙏🙏🙏🌷
With sincere condolences and much love, 
        Betsy Morrow and family 

Memom was the Mater Familias, the chef of family, serving hugs, band-aids, advice, and food to many a cousin run-amok.

It was a busy family filled world with a lot of personalities.  But Memom would find a way to fit you in a space. She could pop a hot-dog in one of your hands, and a nectarine or slice of watermelon in your other, wrap a towel around your sandy wet child-self, then she could magically find just that extra spot to wedge you in between some Chevaliers on a couch or in a beanbag for whatever movie was on or what card or boardgame was being played.  She was the soul of the extended family and she made a place called Bethany extra special for me. She always took the time. You will be missed Memom. I hope you dance through eternal life.

Pat always welcomed us into her home with open arms and warm hospitality in our college days with Lance and Karen and the years thereafter that we lived in the area.  It was lovely to reconnect in recent years. What a beautiful family legacy she and her husband have created. Rest in reunited peace. 

There are many people whom have left an imprint on each of our lives. For me, Pat Jones was one of those people.  I was very fortunate to marry Nancy and be part of the Lee, Buchanan and Jones Family. I was raised in the slums of Washington DC in poverty and a dysfunctional family. I never knew what a normal family was until a married into it. Pat Jones has and always will be an inspiration in my life! She was so filled with unconditional love and excepted me from the start. I will remember that she was always willing to give love, affection, warmth, gratitude and the list goes on. The world will be a sadder place now that she is gone. But because she was here with all of us, I personally am a better man for knowing her! May God Bless all of the Jones family, May God Bless each and everyone of us!

Ma,
You were and always will be my superhero. Beautiful, smart, funny, kind, giving and one of a kind. You sacrificed everything for your family. I thank you so much for the gift of life. I thank you so much for our beautiful family. I thank you so much for your support, your shoulder to cry on, and your unconditional love. Life will not be the same without you. I will miss you terribly and will love you forever & ever.
Your loving son, Steven

To all of the Jones family members I send my sincerest condolences on the loss of such an outstanding lady.  
I will always remember a wonderful Sunday dinner gathering with the family and that early "crop" of grandchildren in the 1980s.....she welcomed Fred King and myself as if we were part of the family.  Such a wise, lovely and gracious woman under all circumstances.
