Susan and I are very sorry for your loss.We pray that you will be granted peace from God that passes all understanding during your time of difficulty and mourning.
I have know Boo for many years. They were my “behind” neighbors for some years a long time ago. And of course I knew him well when he worked at Irvins. Boo was a great man and I send my condolences to Bette and the family. God bless each of you as he is welcoming Boo to his table.
Ginny and I are so sorry for your loss. Our prayer for you is found in Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” May God bless you with peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Uncle Boo was the best uncle you could ever ask for. He gave me so many wonderful memories over the years. He was always an “upbeat” personality. I know he loved his two nieces very much. He was full of love for people.To all the family, he was a great man that was highly respected by all. He made my life so much better. I will be praying for all of you.
Kyle and Family,My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I pray that God will provide you and your family with comfort and strength during this time and days ahead.CescilleDaingerfield High Class of ’81
Where do I begin…so many sweet memories rushing through my mind and in my heart. My heartfelt sympathy and love are with you all, especially to Bette, Randy, Kyle, and their families. Boo was such a gentle spirit. He had a smile that could melt hearts. He loved his family more than life itself. I was very sad to hear of his passing. The Collins-Jones families have a special history. Boo was the last one of them living. I know there is a sweet reunion taking place in heaven now. I understand how this time of year can be difficult. My daddy (James Jones) passed away 42 yrs. ago this Christmas Eve. I will have all of you especially close to my heart this year. My prayers are for the Holy Spirit to comfort each of you during this time. My love to all. Sincerely, Jamey Jones

Kyle and family,It’s difficult to know what to say during this time of sorrow. I do want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Growing up with Kyle gave me the chance to know that you are a very special and close family. That will help with the healing process. Stay strong in your faith and lean on each other as much as possible. May God bless you during this difficult time.
Dear Family,I was so sorry to hear of your husband & dad’s passing, even though I only heard today, January 4. I went to school with Boo at DHS and knew him as a very fine person. My husband and I were honored to have Randy and Sharon in our church in Tyler and kept in touch through them. Heaven has gained a wonderful soul and I know you will miss him a lot. But rest assured, you will see him again, one day. God bless you all.
