My mom was a active pillow of the community, she was alway out and about everywhere, but her main place of business was Hardee’s. She loved all of her Hardee’s and Flea Market family. But most of of all I got to spend all my life with her she was my best friend. I love ❤ you mom you will all my heart, rest in the hands of the master til we meet again, your baby girl.

To the family of our beloved Sister Jackson
“But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall asleep; that ye sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope. if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in the no wise precede them that are far n asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Family in our prayers during this time

Edith was a great cousin and person. Always happy with laughter when you needed a shoulder to lean on. I will truly miss our telephone conversations and wisdom of advice shared during our chats. My prayers are with both Sheila and Yvonne, whom I remember in Nashville with aunt B years ago.

Sheila, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was such a kind and friendly soul, and I know she is decorating GODS beautiful garden of angels with that soul. I wish I could be there with you in person, but I guarantee you are on my mind and in my heart. I just thought about you and your big day before I learned of her passing. I love you so much and don’t you ever forget that. I will inbox my #. Paulette Blanton - Herbin
