I was planted in the Media Ministry at Allen Temple Baptist Church because of A. J.'s invitation and there I continue to grow."He was buried with the Kings in the City of David because of the good things he had done in Israel for God and His Temple." 2 Chron 24:16With love and respect,Norma Jones
AJ where do we start I can recall as if it was last week you and your family moved on 68th Ave and from that moment on we became best of friends as well as neighbors and a friendship that would last A life time non of us are never ready to meet our maker but when he calls we have no choice but to say I am ready we will always cherish the many laughs jokes and happy days we have had together I promise we all will meet sooner or later god bless and many thanks there can only be one AJ THE DJ.

AJ, I pay tribute to you today for your acts of kindness! First of all, you were a church member who served others and secondly you were a caring and kind neighbor for many years. I remember those Easters when Doris and I made baskets for the children and how you so patiently loaded them on the back of your truck and carried them to Allen Temple. Thank you for all the fresh fish you shared after a day of fishing.As I drove through 68th Avenue the other the other day, I noticed that everything is different since you've gone away. There is such an emptiness. I wonder what its like up in Heaven since you've arrived. I hope you're ushering around in Heaven. I hope the angels know who they have. Is there music up in Heaven? Have they asked you to DJ yet? Does the sun shine very day since you've been there? Have you gone fishing with Peter down by the sea of Galilee?I know that you are more alive now since you've reached Heaven!Rev. Linda Walton Jones
