Jones has channelled her grief into bid for glory

Jones stands on the brink of individual and team glory with the world player of the year nominee part of the Red Roses team that will meet Canada in the World Cup final at Allianz Stadium today.

All that has been missing from a week that promises so much is the ability to share it with her parents, both of whom died last year.
