The only time I ever saw my Uncle Jim frown, or cry, was when he had to bury his son, Jimmy. He always had a smile on his face when I saw him, and he laughed so much. He worked hard, loved being a family man, and was an inspiration to all who knew him. I am so grateful, that even though it has been years since I have seen him and Rafael, I have so many happy & loving memories of my aunt & uncle. I have many wonderful childhood memories of Jimmy, George, Mary & Ginny. I love you all, and so glad you posted this guest book. Rest in peace, Uncle Jim, and be comforted in knowing you were very much loved by so many.

Our prayers are with the Jackson family at this difficult time. I was a friend of Jimmy and George and worked with Mrs. Jackson and her sister at the County Hospital for some time. We pray the comfort of the Holy Ghost will rest upon the family during this time of such a great loss. God bless you all.
