Sister Linda, Bro. Gilbert and family we are praying for you. We know assurredly that God will send His guardian angels to go with you every step of the way. As a father who pitieth his children and a groom to his bride, He will never leave nor forsake us through health, sickness, and yes even through the valley of the shadow of death. Brother Jay will truly be missed.

May those memories be a sweet comfort to you. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Praise the Lord!
Our hearts are heavy for we miss our Bro. J so much and we loved him dearly. Bro J was such a genuine and caring person you could never forget and who ALWAYS had encouraging words to share about God's word.
He and my husband were very good buddies and would talk all the time.
Since I'm from Amelia County and have family in Powhatan & Cumberland Counties (who Bro. J grew up w/ and knew well), he would always say "we were cousins too" and I would always tell him "no we were not". He was full of so much laughter and his memories will be w/ us always.
We will also remember Bro. J's 2 most sayings which were: "you understand me?" and "guess what!"
Family, continue to look up and hold to God's hands and God will take you through now AND in days to come.
Rest in peace Bro. J, our dear brother!
Much Love,
Theodore, Wylander & Tanika Jackson
