"This is very difficult, I can't imagine for his family. And then of course, you talk about his extended family, which is his teammates and the Cowboys organization and everybody who cared and loved Marshawn so much," Jones said. "Whenever I've personally been involved in losing somebody, it always is good for your heart and soul when people either observe moments of silence or they send notes or whatever their method is of letting them know you're thinking about you, certainly I'm sure to some degree that's how they feel, I'm not walking in their shoes."
