Please accept my heartful condolences during this sad and difficult time. Loosing a parent and family member, I know from personal experience, is a heavy loss. May God's promise of new life be a comfort. While she is with our heavenly Father now, the memories she left are in my heart.

To The Family: I haven't seen Mrs. Jackson for about 8 years, but I still remember her warm smile and caring attitude. Of the many people I've known, during my career at Dominion, her quiet grace and hard work stands out, still. May God bless and watch over you during this time of your bereavement.
