Remembrances |

“ My Friend Ava ” - Vera Washington“I believe that if Jim Jones had died or resigned from leadership, the popular choice to succeed him would have been Ava Jones and her companion, Johnny Brown Jones, 28. Ava was the oldest daughter of Christine Cobb Young, 50, and seemed born to lead, with a talent for bringing out the best in those around her. Ava's bedroom, on the second floor, northeast corner of the SF Temple, had 6 bunkbeds along one wall for Ava and those who shared her room. It housed her and a number of her younger siblings, and at some point, a child named Stephanie Morgan, given to Ava by her mother, a stranger who approached her as she stood on the Temple steps and asked her to take her baby.
Stephanie's mother must have known on seeing Ava that her child would be in good hands. Ava's last gift to Stephanie was to send her into Georgetown with Ava's brother John Cobb and the basketball team when it left for the championship game, on the eve of Congressman Ryan's visit. Stephanie survived. ” - Kathryn (Tropp) Barbour“ Johnny Moss Brown Jones: A Presence and a Partner” - Don Beck |
