Celebrating a life well lived. I will cherish the memories of my dear cousin forever. I have so many memories of Lit and the entire family. God saw her getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around her and whispered, "Come to me." With tearful eyes you watched her and saw her pass away, and though we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, a precious soul at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best. You will always live in my heart. Your big cousin Manda

Nyisha,James & Family I'm so so sorry that I didn't get to know my godchild children. Nyisha you were a little girl when I last saw you. I'm 80 years old now, but it wasn't a day that I didn't pray for Lit. God has released her from all her suffering. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. I will continue to pray that God will watch over you and take care of you just as your mother did when she could. God Bless You!!!!!!

To my niece Nyisha, James, and the entire Jackson Family: I would like to extend my deepest condolences on your lost, which is my lost too. I will miss my sister Lydia but I know her suffering is over. I am so sorry I did not get to see her before she passed but circumstances prevented that. Stay strong Nyisha Love You from your Aunt Dana, Uncle Gregory, Glenn & Shug.

I would like to say thanks to everyone for your kind words. From all of us. I dont know how I can live being a motherless child but I will have to figure it out real soon. I know that God needed her more than me and I have to find a way to make peace with his choice. She was high in spirit thru this whole struggle she was very tired and weak in the end and was suffering entirely too much. God fixed it in his own way and she is going to be just fine now but we are the ones left to grieve her absence. Please continue to pray for me and my family for the strength to carry on. Thanks Again for all of your support. Nyisha P.

I need you to be strong for each other and come together, I'm praying for each and everyone of you and asking God to bring you all closer together, that one can far without the other.
Keep the Faith and be strong in the Lord. Truly Lyd is going to be miss by all of us, because we love her dearly, remember her smiles the laughs and jokes.

Love cousin Robin missing all of you.
