I will miss my friend of 40 years. Even though she is gone she will never be forgotten. There are many memories that will always be with me. I valued her friendship, her ambition but most of all I respected her for her determination to keep her family whole.
To Carl, who demonstrated the greatest gift of all time when you loved her till the end take courage.
To her children for whom I have known and loved from early ages, I love you all like my own and feel privileged to have had your mother as my friend. Take comfort in the God of all comfort (2 Cor.1:4)
Remain hopefull in God's word that there will be a resurrection of the dead (Acts 24:15) and she will rise again.

Merry Christmas to our beloved Maxine. What a fitting gift...Her own Pair of Authentic Angel Wings; straight from our Heavenly Father. Although she has transitioned to the higher calling, loving memories of her will remain here. As we continue to pray for the family, for we know that God is sufficient; let us not forget to thank God for having allowed us an opportunity to know and love Maxine Allen Jackson; experience her zest for life, her forgiving spirit, her love for her fellow man and civic duty, her numerous contributions to the church family and community-at- large and her infectious smile. I think we are all better servants for having known this Wonderful Christian Lady who ...went into all... and demonstrated "All things work together for good to those who love God". May God continue to uplift those left to mourn the death of this special Servant of Christ. Love You, Max. Beverly

Family Bible
As I pick up my old faded Bible
That lies beside my bed
As I search familiar scriptures
Marked where they’d been read
This old Bible so well worn
That it barely holds together
But it tells me Jesus is the same
Yesterday today and forever
It belonged to my grandparents
They’re waiting for me in Heaven
They prayed we would all follow
With all our sins all forgiven
The pages now are brown with age
But the WORD inside still stands
The Jesus Christ the Savior
Will touch the heart of every man
I can remember seeing my Grandpa
Sitting in the old porch swing
Singing Praises to His Jesus
So loud the Heaven’s rang
Sometimes Granny joined right in
In their worshiping through song
And each time I read this Bible
Those memories linger on
It tells me of Salvation
That comes from trusting Christ
It is within reach of all of us
If we will just lay down our pride
Leave the evil of this world
And all it offers to you
Put faith alone in Jesus
His love is pure and true
When you cry He will answer
He will be a shelter to you
He’ll go with you to the end
We have that promise too
I love this dear old Bible
With the covers faded and torn
It reassures me I’ll be with God
When I awake on judgment morn
It assures me that my affliction
I endure will no longer be
As my soul ascends to Heaven
And at last I’ll be set free
But I’ll cherish this old Bible
That is near and dear to me
It belonged to special people
And handed down to me
They taught me about Jesus
To church I went faithfully
If it wasn’t for this Bible
Wonder where in life I’d be?

Maxine, It is still hard to accept the fact that you are no longer just a phone call away. You have done so much to help so many. Your positive attitude and your beautiful smile were a always a constant reminder and testimony to your unconditional love for God, the church family, your neighbors and friends. I can think of no one who can fill your shoes, but then, that's why God chose you for His heavenly staff. I will miss you. Love, your lifetime friend, Jackie.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Max, you fought a good fight and earned your rightful place in the Kingdom. We will miss you my friend. Your voice is silenced but your presence will forever hover over the church and community where you made your debut 63 years ago. At that time, while you cried, everyone around you laughed with joy. On Friday, 5 Dec 08, when God gave you your wings, you laughed with joy; while the rest of us cried. It is difficult to imagine "Chester" without you, lady. You were a blessing to us all. Love, Mrs. Bettye H. Friend, Jackie, Sherri, Beverly and family
