“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses.
For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought,
but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
~Romans 8:26~

Leviticus 14:33 – Leviticus 26:26
A story that will touch your heart as it did mine.
The father of two of my classmates (twins) passed away yesterday. Many of you many have know him as the local extension agent or as a faithful member of FBC, Amite. I knew him as the kind and gentle father of my friends who allowed his girls to have all their friends over each January for their birthday slumber party. What fun we had! In recent years, he has been the kind man we frequently saw at Mikes at lunch time on Sundays. He is already missed in Amite.

Delos Hall Jones, 95, longtime resident of Amite, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, January 13, 2013 in Daytona Beach, Florida. Delos was born on October 10, 1917 in Enon, LA to Alma Magee Jones and Ernest Jones and was raised in Bogalusa. Following graduation from LSU, he entered the US Navy and served as a pilot in WWII, achieving the rank of Lt. Commander. After completing a Master’s Degree at LSU, he was employed by the LSU Agricultural Extension Service in Tangipahoa Parish his entire career. He was known and loved by many and enjoyed nothing more than giving away the fruits and vegetables he grew in his large backyard garden. Delos was predeceased by his wife of 54 years Evelyn Fendlason Jones, sisters, Myra Higginbotham and Jessie Mae Bateman and brother, Woodrow Jones. He is survived by daughters, Arleen Fortson (Tom), Maureen Stricker (Peter) and son, Gilbert Jones (Frances), as well as grandchildren, Maureen Fortson Dean (Nick), Thomas Fortson, Jonathan Stricker, Jeffrey Stricker (Lori), Courtney Jones LaFever (Matt) and Stephen Jones (Courtney) and Great Grandson Knox Jones.
