To The Jackson Family!! May God comfort and strengthen you as only he can. You have my condolences during this most difficult season. Job well done to each of you, y'all did a awesome job taking care of Daddy Jackson, you made God Proud. I'm happy I got a chance to visit with him in February, he looked awesome, great job family.
My childhood memories of him was how well he dressed, he was always sharp. A beautiful personality, with a smile on his face. He was so kind and loved his job at Wright Taylor, the perfect person for that job, most of our parents back in the day loved shopping there because of him, he knew how to keep them coming back. He was loved by all and will be missed.
Y'all take care of each other, we'll continue praying for you, Daddy Jackson is in such a Wonderful Place, Resting with our Lord, and that's a JOY to know.
