    My Family in Heaven

    By yumbootie  |  Posted November 5, 2009  |  Rancho Cordova, California
     

    This is an old picture of my father, brother and I. My father, Walter Jones, was a Deputy Director of the California Youth Authority's Office of Victim Prevention Services. He developed a program called "Young Men as Fathers". A program for male youth offenders who were fathers in which they would attend courses to learn parenting skills, job skills, etc.., to better take care of their family upon release and not end up back in prison. He very proudly attended every graduation throughout the State's CYA facilities. He passed away in 1999 at the young age of 52. And my brother also passed away, in 2005. I miss them both dearly.
