Ms. Jackson, was my principal at the Trotter Elementary School in Roxbury, as well as living in my same hometown of Milton, Mass. I would like a copy of her obituary. Can you send it to my email address? I had Ms. Jackson, as a principal when I was in 4th and 5th grade. From what I remember, she was my favorite principal in and outside of school. My condolences to her family. Can I also have a picture of her too? Thank you very much.

Happy heavenly birthday Aunt B. I wonder if anyone but me remembers or cares to. I told mom to make your biscuits for your birthday strawberry shortcakes. I love you always....living with you all....dressing up and handing out the Halloween candy, riding to school with you every day and nannie putting me to bed after Boston movie time,even when it wasn't dark. Lilly whites party , I was going to. I love you to the n th degree.

Remembering and speaking to my Aunt B on her Heavenly Birthday. I write thru tears, thinking of all the memories, with knowledge of no more to be made. The Girl Scouts, the art, swimming and tennis lessons, driving you and Aunt Juanita to bingo, the St Augustine activities, the many many card games of Spite n Malice, even with Aunt Alice. All embedded in my psyche, hoping to always remember and hoping to be Blessed to leave such memories behind. Happy Birthday Aunt Barb......i love and miss you like crazy. I can already smell the biscuits mom is making for your strawberry shortcake. Kiss the crew for me please~

" remembering Barbara Jackson" it says. Like i would ever forget! Such an influence to me and many others. I remember you always...always n forever. Your light shines in places that you never realized. The parent of one of my students talked about you, when she saw my name. I responded, " thats my aunt", she beamed continuing her story. Yes....thats my aunt, she is gone and i love her and miss her . Rest easy Aunt B

The last few days Miss Jackson was on my mind. So I googled her name and here I am. She was my brother and my husband´s second grade teacher, my Girl Scout leader, my Principal at The Trotter School( I was in the only 6th grade class there). Years latter my oldest two son went to school there. She took us to DC, helped us learn to be responsible to make our own way. We worked hard for that trip. I´m sure she´s still teaching in Heavenly places. Kevin and I will never forget you.

4 yrs ago today.....got the call that my last aunt in the world had left to join God. Its crazy how this time passes. I cherish our memories though, even from living with you all for first grade....and watching Boston Movie time from 4 to 6 p.m and then a story and lights out, for me. Waking to the smell of grandpas hashbrowns n coffee. Yep...even at age 5 i remember. Wonderful memories....Thank you Aunt B, Love you forever
You, Aunt Juanita and Uncle Bub at Inkwell

ohhhhh Aunt B.....another year, the time is whizzing by. Trying and challenging for most. A year of isolation and quarantine and curtailment of activities for most. Another year of missing the fam and adjusting to the new normal. Cousin Carrie has passed and i know you welcomed her with open arms. Quite the gang you have up there. We are all managing and taking care of business as best as we can. I miss you so....your wisdom and sense of history , our history. A lot of icons have passed in the recent months as well. Yes....a very odd year indeed. Kiss the crew for me ....i love and miss you all and always ~

Happy Birthday Aunt B...i know you re celebrating with the Angels. I hope there is strawberry shortcake on the menu or at least the boiled cake. These times are very strange here on earth, unprecedented due to a world wide virus. We are all in quarantined so as not to spread it. Trying times. I often think abt if all of you were still on earth and how we would manage. I think of you all the time, all the time, so many questions about our history that i have. There is also loads of discussion about seasonal people going to island in this pandemic. An interesting year indeed.Continue to watch over and pray for us. Kisses to the rest of the crew. I miss you all so very much, words cannot express! Much Love Aunt B and Thank you~

Yes....I write these far too much. Its cathartic though, as when I talk to all of you. I just wrote to Joe 2 days ago, dad is next week, tho he doesn't have a legacy page, and mom is in 3 weeks. These 2 yrs have whizzed by aunt B, hard to understand how quickly. I can't tell you how often in the early morn I think of calling you, that was our time. You gave us all such a foundation, a strong foundation with many experiences. I thank you for it all...I thank you for the legacy and I will do my very best to keep your legacy intact, per your wishes. Your sense of history and loyalty was not lost on me or my brother. I know you guys are keeping watch . I love you !!

Happy Birthday in Heaven Aunt B. I know mom is making your biscuits right now for the strawberry shortcake. I woke up this morning wanting to call you, and then...I remembered. It happens like that for Aunt Mena too. I want to call loads of people , and then I remember. ( sigh ) . You were so wise, so smart to plan as you did. I miss you like crazy, please kiss that whole crew for me. Far too many to name. Love you Aunt B.

So sad to hear of Barbara's death. When I was a new principal, she took me under her wings and protected him from critics. We were pilots in the School Based Management design and i loved working and thinking side by side with her. My love to Barbara's family.

It was such a lovely send off Aunt Barb, your outfit was beautiful, your pearl earrings and I left you a bracelet resting on your chest with a special charm. The Omega Omega ceremony was powerful, you were certainly influential and loved. As Chrisma said, " a legend ". I felt your presence.St Augustine's was packed today, with more stories from people who knew you well, including a mother with four children who passed thru your school. A bright, sunny nice day !A God's Blessed Day. Nevertheless, it's still hard to digest that your earthly presence is no longer with us. When they start sprinkling the water and the scent on the casket...that always gets to me. I can see you smiling and saying, " I know Susan, I know ". Yes , far too many losses of late. Keep prayer over us , please. I love you Aunt B...

Though we didn't keep in touch I fondly remember your spirit and your love for education along with keeping track of our family lineage. My mother Jacqueline Jackson and father Edward Jackson held you in the highest regard. I'm sure they will be awaiting your arrival in heaven with open arms. Rest well cousin Barbara.

I write on these legacy pages far too often Aunt B, particularly in the last year or so. I have no more uncles and you you are my last aunt. The sentiment of not being able to use that word, is overwhelming. I have nothing but the best memories of you , dating back to age ,5 when I lived in Milton and drove back n forth to first grade with you. You did much for all of us , you were special to the end. I'm so glad I came to see you 3 weeks ago. We laughed, talked and looked at pictures of the Vineyard. Yes....memories galore. I miss you already. Kisses to all of them, that branch of the Jackson's is together once again. Love you much !
