Stephanie Tubbs Jones was a dear friend

The City of Cleveland Heights has lost a treasured friend with the death of Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Our community could always count on her to listen and to respond on topics that affected everything from housing programs to senior citizen concerns to transportation issues. She truly believed in doing everything that she could to help her constituents. There was no one like her. Our City Council and our entire community are mourning her loss.

Personally, I have not only lost a Congresswoman, but a person who has been a close family friend for over thirty years. On behalf of the City Council and the people of Cleveland Heights, I extend my deepest sympathy to her son, her family and all of her many friends.

Mayor Edward J. Kelley
