“We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.“
 2 Corinthians 5:8 (NIV)

TO:  Sis. Mary Jones and the Bereaved Family,

We were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Brother Donald Ray Jones, the loving husband of Sister Mary Jones. On behalf of Zion Rest Missionary Baptist Church, please accept our heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.

Although Donald Ray was not a member of our Zion Rest family, he shared in our spiritual fellowship and worship service. It is clear that his presence held great significance in the lives of those who knew him, especially Sister Mary. 

We also take a moment to extend a salute and appreciation to Donald for his service to our country.

As we remember Brother Donald, may you find strength in the memories you shared and the knowledge that he is now at peace. For God’s Holy Word tells us that absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. You can trust that we will see Donald again when Christ returns.

During this time of grief, our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family. Our Church Family shares in your sorrow and offer our support in any way we can. Please know that you are not alone in this journey of mourning, and we are here to provide comfort, love, and support. 

Once again, please accept our deepest sympathies. You will continue to be in our heartfelt thoughts and prayers.  

With Christian Love and Deepest Sympathy,
The Officers and Members of Zion Rest Baptist Church
Austin, Texas
R. E. Foster, Pastor
