hello my sister, I am still praying for you and the family. Many will say i know what you are going through but I am here to say I don't know what you are going through. I have a mother,father,brother and a sister gone on.But I must say TIME helps you.My Doc. helped me too. By taking down my pictures an putting them in an album stopped me from looking at them all the time an crying so much. At first you will open the album later you will not open it everyday I used to visit the grave very often now not so often.Sis it took TIME for me,some people said why are you taking things so hard, the bible said this an that, you know what the bible said, but now you are a human person and this man was very close to you for years, you miss him in many ways.No words sometimes make you feel any better. Some will say don't cry I am here to say go ahead an cry, Sometimes a good CRY will help you.I can't say it all here my # is 426-5677 call when ever I LOVE YOU

Pastor Jackson I want to thank you for everything. You gave me an opportunity to always do something that I loved to do. I am very thankful for the talent God gave me, you gave me the chance to do it at your church. You also was a blessing to my family, You will always be in our thoughts and prayers. You where more like an uncle to me instead of a cousin. And your wife Gloria is my aunt, thats my mom closest sister and we love her dearly. I learned alot of things from you pastor, the one that stayed to me is to put God first. I Love you always Jamie D. Lawhorn and Family.
