Dennis & Elem Jones Medical & Funeral Expenses
Donation protected
This is a fundraiser to help the Jones family as they are processing sudden great tragedy and grief in their family right now. Just yesterday morning (Saturday, February 16, 2019), their mother Elem Jones passed away after a sudden illness. And now just a day later, their father (and good friend of mine) Dennis Jones was tragically murdered in the Philippines while he was preparing for his wife's funeral there.
The Jones family is now left to not only deal with their mom’s hospital expenses from her ICU stay and funeral but also their dad’s funeral expenses back in the United States. I know the family would appreciate having this opportunity for those who knew their parents or who might be willing and able to contribute to ease the financial burden they are currently carrying. Many are starting to ask what they can do to help, and supporting this GoFundMe campaign would be a practical way that we can show our love and support to the Jones family during this challenging time.
All funds raised by this campaign will go directly towards the medical and funeral expenses for Elem & Dennis Jones.
Dennis and his wife Elem are survived by their three adult children: Jennifer Rickard, Andrew Jones, and Philip Jones.
In addition to financial support, we are of course soliciting much prayer for Dennis and Elem's family and friends as they grieve this sudden loss of their father and mother. Dennis and Elem's friendship meant so much to so many.
“As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.” Psalm 103:13
"Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old." Proverbs 23:22
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.'" John 11:25
"And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.'" Revelation 21:3–4
