Dear Jack and James,

Everyone has a story to tell — and these are the beginnings of yours. Mama and I helped write your early chapters, but as you grow, you’ll take the pen into your own hands.

No matter where life takes you or what paths you choose, know this: Mama will always be with you, watching over you from above. And I, your Dada, will do my best to be there by your side every step of the way.

Life is a long and beautiful adventure. There’s no need to rush — take your time, savor each moment, and hold it close, because once a moment passes, it’s gone forever.

Always remember Mama’s words:

“The world is a very good place — so much to see and do, so many people to meet. I’ll always be with you in spirit if you need help and support.”

In loving memory of Claudia Meredith Jones, 

Beloved wife and mother  |  12.18.1980 – 9.22.2024
