Mom, 
It’s been a year now since you passed. I remember walking in your hospital room that morning, hoping to talk with you. You were sleeping so peacefully, with a smile on your face. I just couldn’t wake you, instead I watched you in amazement of what a special mother you have been with five children. 
I reminisced of all family gatherings we shared that made you so proud and happy. We felt safe, happy and most of all loved by our wonderful mother.
Before I realized hours had passed and the nurse came in to wake you up and bring you down to do the procedure. I held your hand, you looked at me as you gripped my hand tighter and told me not to worry that everything will be ok.
You were right as usual, you are now where you supposed to be.
Heaven now has another beautiful angle to watch over us.

I love and miss you mom.

Richard 

Mom,
It's been a year since you left us.  It seems like I'm looking more and more like you (people say :).
I miss our talks, outings, and your smile.  You are the greatest mom that ever walked this earth.
I'm sure you are carrying on this legacy up in heaven.
I love and miss you so much MOM
Love always you daughter

Eulogy (The Perfect Gift - Part I)

Family, friends, loved ones, I am honored to share my thoughts of my beautiful Aunt Eleanor. She blessed my life in countless ways. However, I cannot fully express the infinite beauty of my aunt and the love she shared.

I am so blessed; she showered me with memories that I will always treasure. Being with my aunt filled my life with smiles, and when she was around, I always felt happy. Even as I drifted far away, her voice instantly made me smile. Whether it was a funny joke, or good-hearted banter, my aunt is a delight to be around.

I am so blessed; as a child, I always had tremendous fun with my aunt and my cousins. My aunt embraced us all as one beautiful family, and we were always on the go. Lakes, volleyball, and late-night card games, our annual family reunions were incredible adventures.

I am so blessed; my aunt always had a smile and an optimistic disposition. Yes, she was an incredible person. She will be missed by a lot of people here today. In these short verses, you know my aunt is a big reason why I am so blessed. My childhood was magical because of my aunt and the love we shared between our families.

My beautiful aunt Eleanor, I wish you peace and will always love you.


Eulogy (The Perfect Gift - Part II)

Lord, the Bible reminds us in James chapter 1, verse 17, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father.” Here on earth, the father bestowed upon me my aunt, who was the perfect gift from above. Today, it is without a doubt, my aunt is an angel in heaven, and I am so blessed she is watching over me.

I want to thank each of you who have joined us to cherish the wonderful life and spirit of Pearl Elnora Jones. When we lose a parent, an aunt, and a loved one, our grief can be intense. However, even though we feel the pain, we recognize the loss as a natural part of life. It is a physical step that must be taken, even by the most beautiful among us, to transcend into the heavens to reunite with our preceded loved ones. Even during this solemn moment, the spirit of my aunt Eleanor is here wrapping each of us together very tightly. Yes, you, at this very moment, are in her arms, and her only wish is to fill your heart with joy.

Along with my sister, I have the privilege to recite to you just a few of the many uplifting memories I have of my wonderful aunt, who blessed my life. Yes, where I say I am so blessed, it is a placeholder for your experience, your memories, and the blessings you enjoyed with my aunt. As you listen, I hope you can recall the happiness and joy you shared. Following the memories we share with you, we encourage you to make your way up to be by our side to share your special moments with my aunt and her loved ones that fill this room today.

My sister is a very talented and incredible soul. She is going to remind us a bit more about our aunts’ life and continue the journey of beautiful memories. Everyone, please welcome my beautiful sister Tammy.


Mama Jones you have always loved everyone with open arms!  Your love was unconditional!  I will cherish all the memories we shared, then laughs and the long talks we had!

Love Always!  ❤

We believe those we love never go away, and it is in our hearts that you are here to stay. Every moment we spent with you is an eternal memory of love. As we feel you are always near, we want you to know for us you remain very dear. We love you, and we miss you.


My beautiful sweet aunt.   I miss you so much already.   You were called ‘aunt Eleanor’ by all of your nieces and nephews.  Not too many knew your real name was Pearl Elnora.   I knew.   When I was 16 years old , my family moved from Okeechobee to Ocala,  I was scared to start  in a new school where I didn’t know anyone and you let me live with you for a whole year so I could go to school with Linda.  I had the best time living with Linda and YOU.   We had so many good times talking and laughing.   I will love and cherish those memories forever.  

There are so many memories of the good times with my mom. She had a way when I was down, to make me smile and forget that I was having a bad day. She was a devout Christian woman,  you could see love and kindness in her speech, her smile her eyes, her touch and most of all when she sang. 
One of her most special days was mothers day. She could not wait to have all of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren sit with her at church on Sunday morning.
My mom was and will always be the most special lady in my heart.
I will miss you so much.
I love you mom.
Richard

My Memory of my mom we were big time Miami Dolphins fans she 
would  call me at the same time when  Miami  would make a tough down and would say  at the same time touch down dolphins or if the refs would call a bad play, she would get mad.  But that was the good times. I would always look forward to Sunday when  Miami dolphins would play because I could share my life with my mom.  Mom I am going to always love you and miss you but you are in good hands now with God .you are in peace now. 

Sending condolences from the McCoy family, so sorry for your loss we love you.

My condolences to the family. My prayers to you all, May  God continue to bless you all through this difficult time.❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽

There is so many memories of you. You were like a mother to me since I lost mine. You and my mother was so much alike I am sure you two will be friends in Heaven.  And what a wonderful other mother you were. You use to call me your other daughter and I so enjoyed that title from you. I so enjoyed our trips to Daytona Beach every year. Celebrating your birthday while we are over there. But the thing I treasure the most was you to yell "I Love You" from your hospital bed on Linda's cell and I told you " I Love You Too". You will be greatly missed but you earned your purple Angel wings so fly high with them. Will always love you. 

My mother,
Loving, gentle, kind, soft hearted, treated any kid like they were her own, best friend, 

Mom, 
I feel lost without you and don't know how im going to make it with u not here.  I am so lucky to have had you as my mother.  You arw the most caring mother in the whole wide world.
I will always love you to heaven and back.

Condolences to the entire family. Praying that God will comfort you guys at this time. May she SIP. Amen 🙏🏽
