To the Family: When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us. May you take comfort in knowing that you have an angel to watch over you now. I extend my most sincere condolences to you. As I remember Mr. Jackson three songs come to mind, "Amazing Grace" "Order my Steps," and "Oh, How I Love Jesus." Rest in Heaven Mr. Jackson you will truly be missed.
