To the family of Ms. Lessie Jackson:
It was a pleasure to come to know ms. Lessie. I worked with her in Petersburg,Va. at the Interfaith Adult Day Care Center. Her smile and love to sing will be greatly missed, especially the song of Low Down Your Chariet and Let Me Ride. It took me a while to learn this song but since it met a lot to her --I finally learned the words. May God continue to bless her family. Yours In Christ. Ms. Winnie Neaves.
