I am very saddened to learn of the passing of Dell. I met Dell at the Dialysis Center as we were both patients there. He was kind, soft spoken and well mannered. I will never forget him for he was the epitome of what a young man should be like. I offer my sincere condolences to his family at this time. Rest well my friend until we meet again.
My Condolences to the Jones family Praying 🙏 for you all strength May God Continue to bless you all 🙏 Beverly Calhoun and Family 🙏
