Mark Jones is a deputy with the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office and a 15 year Law Enforcement Veteran. Two months ago, Mark was diagnosed with malignant tumor in his chest, the cause of which is cancer of the lymphatic system. Mark underwent surgery this past Thursday, 5/12/05, to remove the tumor. Unfortunately, the tumor had spread into some vital areas and therefore, some could not be removed.

Mark now faces a long and uncertain road to recovery that will include chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Mark is certain to be unable to work for several months. In addition to this, his wife will undoubtedly have to take a great deal of time off work, without pay, as Mark will not be able to care for himself for quite some time.

An account has been established in hopes of providing Mark and his family some assistance with their living expenses during this difficult period of time. We, as members of the Law Enforcement Community, have the responsibility to care for and assist our own when they encounter catastrophic situations such as Mark and his family are facing I would never ask anyone to put their family in a situation where they have to “go without”, but anything that we can spare will help a great deal.

Depositions can be made in person or by mailing a check or money order to “Wilson Bank & Trust”, 1444 Buddour Pkwy., Lebanon, Tn 37087. Deposits should be made into the account of Mark Erwin and Amy Gail Jones (Account #7191299).

On behalf of Mark, his family and friends, I’d like to thank you all in advance for your consideration and generosity in this matter.
