Andrew Jones


British soldier, Sgt Andrew Jones, age 35, of the Royal Engineers, was killed while patrolling Lashkar Gah, in Afghanistan.  Sgt Jones, of Newport in south Wales, leaves wife Joanne and three children.

"Andrew was a happy, funny and caring man. He was a loving husband, father and son, and he will leave a gaping hole in our lives."  He was serving as a reconnaisance engineer, as part of Fondouk Squadron, the Queen's Royal Lancers in Helmand when he was killed.  "His courage and good-humoured leadership inspired all those in his troop, particularly when the going was hard. A proud Welshman, who exhibited all the fortitude of his countrymen, he was at heart a devoted family man."

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Andrew Jones is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
