My deepest sympathy for the family of Mr. Jackson, without a doubt he will be missed. He was our ray of sunshine here at work. There was "always" a kind word and smile from him along with the "Good for a Monday-Friday" statement that greeted us every morning as we prepared to do our jobs. Regardless of what emotion was felt as I entered into the doors his greeting sent me to my desk with a smile on my face. God bless and keep you his family. Weeping endures for a night but joy comes in the morning. Cry no more. Know that he is with our father in heaven above greeting all the other angels..."Good for a Monday".

You are in my prayers.

TO THE JACKSON FAMILY:



Mr. Jackson was a true man of God. His spirit was a kind and humble one.



At a time I didn't realize that he was searchin for a replacement to be kind to the people at BCBS, but I realize now that the same spirit and kindness that he showd to them seem to have passed down to me. I find myself doing and saying some of the things that he would probably say. I never got a chance to say THANK YOU, but I know you knew because of your kind spirit and our friendship. You will always be remembered, and it will always be as he would say "Good for a Monday."

Jackson family, you were trully blessed to have such a wonderful man as a part of your lives. He was one of the best in the workplace. Every morning we were met with a smile and his ever famous quote "Good for a Monday-Friday". Those words seem to echo with just a thought of Mr. Jackson. If only we would take a leaf from his book of life what a wonderful world this would be.

Just wanted you to know that I am praying for you and family members.

Mr. Jackson always brightened our days as we entered the workplace every morning. His favorite saying

"Good for a Monday", he was always

good for whatever day it was. He was a blessing to me in many ways and I know he loved the Lord because

it was exemplified in his words, life and attitude towards life. He has been and will be greatly missed by the employees at Medicare. Be

encouraged and carry on his legacy

of positivity.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Jackson through church functions. It was later that God sent this same man to work at the same place of employment as myself. I looked forward to coming to work just to here him say "Good for a Monday" and then give his kind smile. There was no doubt in my mind that Mr. Jackson was a devoted man of God. He really didn't have to say it, it was the way he carried himself. I can truly say he was the sunshine here at Blue Cross Blue Shield. We will miss him dearly, but will always remember his smile and his sweet spirit.

Mr. Jackson will be greatly missed. It was always a pleasure to see his smiling face when I came into work in the mornings. "Good for a Friday". Were the words I would always remember him saying. We loved him but God loved him best and he is home now with our Father in Heaven. See you when I get there Mr. Jackson. May God bless and keep the Jackson family in their time of grief. Hold on to God's unchanging hands. God bless!!!
