TAPS ~ REST IN PEACE. Prayers requested.

RIP Prayer Request
From Mountainflower

~ TAPS ~

It is with deep sadness that I relate the following to you.  On July 15 I received an email from Dan Small stating that our mutual friend, Hal Jones, has passed away after a 16-month or so battle with cancer. Hal Jones was with us in Washington, DC at Gathering of Eagles I.  It was an honor to get to know him and Dan, and to stand with him as a Marshal that day in March.  He has gone home to be with the Lord on July 14, 2008.  He is in a better place, standing at the ready in heaven, with no more pain or earthly sorrows.  He will be missed by his friends and loved ones.  Please pray for his family and for Dan. 

Hal F. Jones, 58, Edgewater, a self-employed truck driver, died Monday, July 14, 2008, at the Hospice Care Center, Port Orange. Mr. Jones, an Army veteran of the Vietnam War, was born in Berwyn, Ill., and moved to Edgewater in 1976 from Chicago, Ill. He was a radio dispatcher for the New Smyrna Beach Police Department for ten years and the Volusia County Sheriff's Department for five years. He also was a volunteer for the Turnbull Bay Fire Department and a ham radio operator. He enjoyed fishing, football and NASCAR. Survivors include his wife, Katherine "Kathy"; two sons, Phillip Jones, Edgewater, and Kevin (April) Jones, Maiden, N.C.; two daughters, Jessica and Jennifer Jones, both of Edgewater; and ten grandchildren. He was preceded in death by a sister, Cynthia Jones, in 1983. Funeral service will be 7 p.m. Saturday, July 19, at the Dudley Edgewater Chapel with Chaplain Alan Gaylord, Hospice of Volusia/Flagler, officiating, and members of the American Legion Post #285, Edgewater, conducting military honors. Visitation will be from 5 p.m. until the service time Saturday at Dudley Edgewater Chapel. Private burial will be Monday, July 21, in the Veterans Field of Honor at Sea Pines Memorial Gardens, Edgewater.

In paradisum deducant te Angeli;
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
æternam habeas requiem.

Into Paradise may the angels lead you;
At your coming may the martyrs receive you,
And lead you into the holy city Jerusalem.
May the choirs of angels receive you,
And with Lazarus who once was poor
May you have peace everlasting.

Hey MissFlower — I am sorry that my music stuff is not working properly right now so I cannot post a musical tribute. I am sending up prayers for his family and friends.

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch
Like me.
I once was lost
But now am found
Was blind but
Now I see.

God rest the soul of Hal Jones

God bless Hal as he, too, walks with American Patriots that are in heaven. May America’s patriots watch over us from heaven and may they protect us from the current Liberal madness. Amen.

Prayers being said for all of Mr. Jones' friends, and family that are mourning his passing. May he rest in peace, and may the Lord comfort and give strength to those who are missing their loved one.

God bless Hal, and his family and friends.

Please let his family know that Patriot Guard is available to pay tribute and give protection at his funeral. It is an amazing group. They must be invited though. I participated when there were bikes for miles. I’ll bet Hal would have gotten a kick out of it.
