The Lord is my Shepherd, I Shall Not Want

Harold Douglas Jones, "Rustburg", transitioned his earthly home to his heavenly home on June 10, 2024, at Centra Hospice House, Bedford, Virginia. He was born on April 18, 1956, to Harold W.

*Only the Best*

A heart of gold stopped beating,

Two shining eyes at rest,

God broke our hearts to prove,

He only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us,

But you did not go alone,

For part of us went with you,

The day He took you home.

To some you are forgotten,

To others just part of the past,

But to us who loved and lost you,

the memory will always last.

A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. Thursday, June 20, 2024, at Silver Grove Baptist Church. Service of comfort rendered by Davis-Turner Funeral Service.
