My heart is heavy and I will miss 'Ma" so much. I'll truly miss her soothing voice, loving hugs and the cookies in the milk jugs at Christmas. You were so blessed to have a beautiful, loving mother and grandmother.

To the Jackson Family. Our prayers are with you. Know that you have been truly blessed to have such a wonderful & kind mother and wife to share your life with. May those memories continually fill your heart with love and joy. I'll never forget the cannister of cookies that she would make during the holidays and send home w/DD. We all enjoyed them. She will be greatly missed.

Love you all, Vickie Webb(Witcher)& Family
