Heading: loss of companionship of marvin earl jones to his brothers and sisters

Text: Gilbert Jones, brother of the decedent, testified that Marvin Earl Jones left surviving him five brothers and three sisters; that Jones' parents predeceased him and Jones was not married nor did he have any children; that the Jones family, brothers and sisters, was a close family; and that the decedent lived in and kept up the family home and place. Norma Rae Ratcliff, sister of the deceased, testified on behalf of all members of the family as to the closeness of the Jones family. Although each member of the family should have been available as a witness and could have, or should have, testified to the loss of companionship and society, this element of the damages is undisputed.
