Nettie was one of the people who made my 36 years, as art teacher, at Lee F. Jackson School the wonderful experience it was. She was a remarkable and rare woman. My sympathies to her family and friends. She will be sorely missed.

On behalf of my entire family we would like to extend our Deepest Sympathy to Ms. Jackon's family. I had known her as a small child and grew up, seeing how active she was in our Community. She was a tireless advocate for my family as well as many others, as we reaped the benefits of her tireless work. My parents were good friends with her and Luther- knowing they are both together and at peace is a comfort.
God Bless your Family and May God help you heal during this difficult time.
She will truly be missed - Cherishing my special memories of a very dear family friend.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. As one who grew up with close connections to the Virginia State Campus, I have fond memories of many members of the Jackson family. I had the privilege of meeting Nettie on one of her visits to Petersburg. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
