James and Theresa Watkins planted 5 trees in memory of Charles E. Jones, Jr. . - September 14, 2025
Rest Easy Cousin you will be truly missed.
To the Jones family, our hearts extend in sorrow, As dawn breaks gently on each new tomorrow. In grief's embrace, where tender tears may fall, We bring our comfort, standing with you all.
Let these young trees, with roots both strong and deep, A solemn, living pledge forever keep. No simple saplings, destined just to grow, But emblems chosen, for the love we know.
For like their branches, reaching for the sky, His spirit soared, too boundless just to die. His legacy, a forest, grand and wide, Where wisdom flourished, and compassion sighed.
The strength he offered, the kindness he bestowed, A thriving woodland, on life's winding road. Each leaf that flutters, in the gentle breeze, Will whisper echoes, bringing hearts to ease.
May every rustle, in the verdant shade, Recall the memories, lovingly made. His presence lingers, vibrant and profound, In every fiber, truly all around.
So let them live, through seasons, sun, and rain, A timeless tribute, easing every pain. For in their growing, graceful, strong, and true, His noble spirit lives and thrives anew.
Condolences, dear Jones family, we share your sorrow's plea, But see his lasting spirit in each living tree.
Watkins Family

From James, Theresa, and Nicole, we send Our deepest solace, comfort without end. The Watkins family, in this mournful hour, Extends its sympathy, a gentle flower.
We cherish still the moments, brief and few, The precious time we were allowed with you. Though swiftly passed, a gift profoundly bright, It filled our days with warmth and gentle light.
And oh, those smiles, that lit your kindly face, A warmth, a welcome, in that cherished space. We'll miss that glow, that spirit pure and free, A sweet remembrance, for eternity.
May memories bloom, though sorrow's path we tread, And comfort softly soothe each aching head. Farewell, dear Charles, your light will ever gleam, A beautiful, unforgettable dream.
My Condolences to everyone doing this time. Praying for strength.
