Sorry for your lost we were childhood friends in Greenville, ms.just heard about his passing

I have had the pleasure of knowing the Jackson family since high school with his younger brother, Douglas..First time I meet George was in Toledo Oh at his brother`s funeral...Listening to him on the radio all those years in Greenville, finally met him in person..He is no doubt one of the greatest singers and songwriter that ever lived. My prayers to GOD to remember George and I will always remember too.

Uncle George, thank you for inspiring me to write my new song. Thank you for believing in me.

Your niece,

Jacqueline Williams

Deepest sympathy for the Jackson family. I came accross this gifted man when his song "I lived through a losing battle" was played on the radio a few months ago. At the time I was struggling through some really hard times in my life and this song really up lifted me, gave me hope and made everything feel alright. It has since become one of my most treasured and loved tunes. Today, as I mark a painful anniversary, I was hoping I could thank Mr Jackson himself for sharing his wonderful gift...

my sympathy George jr. may the heavenly light continue to shine on you.

My condolences to the Jackson family. I have fond memories as a teenager growing up in Memphis of George showing up at my Aunt Katie's house on Sunday just in time for dinner. He was a kind, compassionate and extremely talented man. I am honored to have crossed paths with such a remarkable human being.
