Dear Doc,
It is difficult for Cica and I to believe that it has been 14 years. As stated in a post earlier on you are the reason that we were brought together. The union between Cica and I remain very strong. God Bless you Doc for this WONDERFUL situation. We Love and Miss You Dearly.

It had been 12 years and I still remember you not infrequently. Now, I have a tickler 1 week before this day as Grandmommy North transitioned 7 days ago. Her spirit resides with God too and we will all be reunited at the resurrection.
She missed her 105th birthday this upcoming August when she died peacefully at the home where she has been for 2 months. It was in INDIAN Head near me so easy to get there for Chris and me.
I include pics of our Brazil family of Patrick, Elaine, Caike 15, Bela almost 6, grand dog Kona 8 months. You would adore them all. Celyna doing well working and being her effervescent self. Jay loves his friends at school and surviving it all. I have never seen him smiling more and being more secure in himself. What a blessing! You, indeed have left a great legacy. Miss you
Caryl.

It is still a difficult situation for me and my wife Cica. It was Doc who introduced me to my, what has turned out to be a wonderful situation with my Brasillian wife "Cica". We talk about him very often. from time to time we reach out to Ricky, who also lives in Brasil. We live in Rio and love it dearly. We have tried to live in the U.S. but we have found that it is so much healthier for us to live in Brasil. We give thanks to Doc for this wonderful situation. God Bless you Hamp.

On the 10th anniversary of your transition, your buddy Dr. Allen Flood is being memorialized. I know you welcomed him in and can see the two of you laughing and having so much fun. What a good friend he was and he brought out your joy. Like you, he had an illustrious medical career. His youngest is a family practitioner in his office and he is SO much like Allen. His oldest is an attorney.
Big news is that Ajay is thriving in his first year in college. Every time I see videos, he is smiling, affable and peaceful! Apparently, he is doing well is school. His leaving home was the BEST thing for him. Camille and Patrick have really stepped up to care for him. Celyna is the working girl, all done with her education and resilient as ever. She is a survivor who has taken it to another level! Patrick is on track to be partner at his firm-the first black attorney in this hemisphere. He is head of diversity for the entire international firm and has received some of the best accolades from associates with whom he works. Also, he travels to Harvard to meet with the black law students to help them look at what's next after law school and help them stay grounded. Perhaps Judge Ketangi Brown Jackson will meet them in the future! Elaine is taking classes online which has been a dream for her & Caike is now a Jackson after proceedings went through on his adoption. The 4 of them are a lovely family-great parents and adorable children. Camille and I will are going down to Brazil for Bela's 4th birthday in June.
Camille is so happily married. She and Steven are foot loose and fancy free. After traveling to Dubai with Ricky's family in December, the 2 of them returned in February for a second stint because they liked it so much! Camille has built a successful business in Atlanta as she did here in Maryland. Her clients adore her and she loves her work. Steven continues to work with his employees virtually and he likes his work. He keeps Camille grounded as Rodney does me!!
Have missed you for 10 years. See you in the by and by.
We are blessed beyond measure.
These remembrances will ultimately be put in a book for your children and grandchild (s)
Love, Caryl

Dr. Jackson,
I can't believe it's been 9 years since you transitioned to the other side.
I did however find another pain specialist but, no doctor will ever be able to hold a candle to you and the care you showed to your patients. I can see you up in Heaven now walking around in your cowboy boots showing all the other angels how to dress, and that brings a smile to my heart.
Rest in peace Dr. Jackson, you are so missed!

It is difficult to believe that my dear friend and brother is not here. My wife, Cica and I talk about him all the time. As noted before we are living in Brasil as a direct result of Hamp. It has been more than wonderful, even during this HORRIBLE PANDEMIC. I feel that brother Hamp is still with me. I talk to him regularly. Thank you God for bringing such a wonderful and caring person into my life.

I still want to call and talk to him, I remember when I found out he was going to have a baby at his age. Boy I teased him and we laughed he then said to me " you had better not mess with a young man because you get a baby also". I would tell people about him when he was in Alexandria and he always would let know. Now know what family, I hope to see him in the new system. I as you keep him close to my heart as he was a very wonderful person, he was a doctor from the heart. May he rest in peace till he is awaken by our heavenly father. Please take care!

As I remember your transition, I wanted to update you on your children, of course the first 2 being ours.
I just drove Patrick and his family to the airport to return to Brazil. We had a glorious week while they were here. Isabela will be 3 in 2 months and is fluent in English. She runs her mouth constantly with occasional Portuguese mixed in. Amazing! She is my heart running around on 2 feet. On the 9th year of your transition 2 days ago, we spoke of you and who you were to us, your legacy and the loss all of us feel since you passed on. You were dear to so many people. Bob stopped by for a visit yesterday with the 2 dogs, Mona who is 15 and Coco. We reminisced even more.
Camille and Steven are like Mike and Ike. Truly one spirit and so happy. She continues to split her time with her clients up here as she builds in Atlanta which is going well despite COVID. She is a true healer and continues to increase her skill set. Her patients love her and the results she has are impossible not to see. She relieves pain, suffering and even has had patients with radiologic proof of improvement and/or resolution of pathology.
Your daughter Celyna is still gainfully employed and now in her own apartment. She is a lovely and resilient young woman whose upbeat spirit is infectious. She ahs been there for her younger brother.
Ajay had been accepted at Oberlin University in Ohio for computer science. He has had a tough time in his present situation and will finally be able to grow as he leaves Maryland. He will be going to Brazil for 4 weeks where he can have real family to love on him and support him before college. He has a brilliant mind, clearly from his dad and if he applies himself, will be very successful.
I pray your spirit is at peace in seeing what you have left behind.
Thank you for being a great human being who has contributed so much to so many.
I miss you much and feel blessed to have shared part of my life with you and giving me such great children who are decent and good people who likewise give so much to others. Your legacy continues to live on.

To the family I had no idea that Dr. Jackson had passed on I am so sorry. I was just thinking about him and had no idea he being a wonderful person I was a patient of his in Alexandria VA when he had his service here which had been years ago. I will truly miss him and to you the family I know that you will always miss him. Please stay strong.

Hamp,
Just a note to let you know that Wallace and I have talked about you often and shared many fond memories since you've been gone. I'm sure you've welcomed him, since he passed on to begin his next "life" chapter on Friday, April 12. I'm imagining that you two are already talking politics, commenting on Tiger, and setting up a pinochle game - just like old times. Continue to rest in peace, my friend! With Love, Paula

Hi Hampy,
I am so late writing to you. I attempted on April 9th, the anniversary of your death & there were IT problems. Then life got in the way and just didn't get it done.
Your Celyna is doing fabulously in school. Her grades are good & she has a job in research where she has already published 2 papers. She has made a mark for herself as a Freshman and she is on her way.
Ajay is much more social and struggling less in school. He feels he is doing better and we keep praying for him. He is very bright and we are hopeful he will turn it around.
Our daughter, Camille, continues to bring joy and healing to so many people working in our Medi Spa. The clients love her and she never fails to deliver. I am so blessed to work with her everyday watching her grow in her craft and keep us prospering in the practice. I couldn't imagine being without her.
Patrick is engaged to a lovely young Brazilian woman-Elaine. She has an adorable son Caieke and BOTH of them adore our son. Rodney, Grandmommy North and I went to Brazil at Christmas last year so we could meet them. What a great little family. You would be so happy.
Camille, Patrick and I feel it is time to bring the book to a close. We, your family, patients, friends and acquaintances will continue to hold fond remembrances of you in our hearts which will continue to hurt when we think about you. You are free from this world and we will see you in the by and by.
Love, Caryl

As I sit here preparing for my son to graduate High School next week. I think of all the advice you gave my son. He is the man because the times you shared with him during my visits. He remembers, "Uncle Hamp" as he called you, told him never walk around with no money in your pocket. Guess what, he keeps something in his pocket at all times.

Dear Doc,
I have celebrated your Birthday here in Rio. It was your wonderful guidance and the perseverance and determination of your beloved son Ricky that help me to find work and a wonderful and different way of life in Brasil. It is more than a coincidence that I am here again on your day. Thank you Doc, and I Love and miss you dearly. Charles MMinor

Dear Hampy,
I just sent our godchild, Shari, a birthday card belatedly. Of course we could never forget her birthday as she was your birthday gift on October 11th and we were blessed to be her god parents. She is lovely in every way, intelligent, gifted and big time as the head of diversity at Cisco. She can wow the entire audience and is so comfortable in her skin. I am proud of her.
Today would have been your 67th birthday. How I wish you were here for us to shower you with gifts.
The four children and Bob celebrated you at one of your favorite Japanese steak houses. They went to the grave site where you are next to Momma. Soon there will be a nice bench to mark the grave sites.
Celyna is in her first year of college and has already been recognized as a bright star in her school. She loves it and loves her roommate. Of course she is doing well.
Ajay is a bit taller than me now!!! I cannot believe it. He is more serious about school and admits when he needs help. He looks so much like you when I met you, it's uncanny! And he acts like you and has some of the same ways of being. He is definitely your child. I pray for his situation that he will prosper and remain in good health.
I miss talking to you about so many things and wish it was in person. However, I know I will see you in the by and by.
Love,
Caryl

Hi Hampy,
Well, 43 years ago we married each other on this date. You always wondered how I remembered the date, years after we divorced. Despite the fact we didn't stay married, we were forever connected through our children, Camille & Ricky, and you were always my friend. IT was an important date in both our lives. Still miss you.
I forgot to write about Celyna's graduation and her party her in our party room. It was lovely. She is a gifted & virtuous young woman and will do well in whatever she pursues. Just wanted to let you know she is blossoming. Ajay is growing well and maturing. He is much more social and doing better in school. I attach a picture of the family at the party.
Miss you still.
Hugs,
Caryl

Wow, I am so late with this notice, I am shocked and sadden, however I wanted to let the family know how great Dr. Jackson was as a professional, friend, and mentor. I wanted to say thank you for sharing him with his patient's. He helped with in every since of the word. Thank you Dr. J. for being you...RIP, you will be soaring missed...
April 12, 2015
Hey Hamp,
Paula and I think of you often, but clearly during this time of year it's especially tough for me. This weekend watching the Masters I miss my own personal commentator, who while never having played a round knew more about golf than some so-called pros. I miss the hours we would spend on the phone watching the social miracle called Tiger Woods. The hours with (Lou and Bob sometimes included)was our thing!
On the political front, the convention will be held in Philadelphia this time. Your girl Minyon has been named CEO of the convention, and most of the other major players in Hillary's campaign run will be people you're watched since they were pups. While I will sit this one out, you and I reserve and have earned the right to critique it every day.
Talk to you soon man,
Wallace

Dear Hampy,
Yesterday was the third year of your transition. I will never forget April 9, 2012. As I write, I am in Florida attending a business workshop with our first born, Camille. As you remember, she and I are business partners and she is such a blessing. She is bright, joyous, loving, engaging, enterprising and loyal to her mom. I couldn't do without her.
Miss you still and have forever reminders of you through our children, My little butterfly Camille and My loving Ricky. I also see Celyna and Ajay who are just as wonderful. Ajay is like a mini Hamp physically. They are growing every day and, prayerfully will get through some of the tough times they are going through. I know you are watching over them and seeing Celyna's excellence in school and Ajay's improvement. I will continue to pray for all of them and that the brilliance that you were will blossom in your youngest as it has in the other 3.
Will always love you and remember you.

Dear Dr J you know I called you my cow boy, that's how much we loved you. although it's been two years, we are still missing you, it will never been another like you. there may be some that come close, but they could never take the place of you, you were kind so generals to everyone/ not to mentioned patience willing to listen and understand what we your patients was experiencing. that is what made you the best doctor ever, after the lord called you home, I really got the ruin around with finding a doctor. but do to a over sight by another doctor , he end up finding me the next best thing to you. he's not you, but you would be proud of this neurosurgeon, well I'm gonna let you go for now. I know you're busy taking care of other's who needs your help , continue to share your love , this is what you taught me to do / and that's what Im trying to do every day.

Dear Hampy,
One day late for your birthday this year, but I certainly did NOT forget. It's just that MAlik transitioned the day before after battling chordoma cancer for 7 years. On the 16th of this month he would have been 43. You probably remember him as a loving, giving, centered spirit who always thought of others rather than himself. He remained that way until he took his last breath. He transitioned 1 day after his initial cancer surgery 7 years ago. And were these last 7 years productive. He left quite a legacy in his 3 children Jair, Amir and Nisa. They tended to him during his last days and were prepared form his transition. His wife, Jamellah stayed with him until the end-what an example of a wife who married for better or worse and until death by one of them.
I still miss you and think of you frequently. Ajay is you all over! How amazing. He has improved in school and will continue to be encouraged by all. Celyna is growing beautifully and doing so well in school. College in 2015!!
We all miss and love you and know your spirit is with the Lord. Malik has probably checked in with you.
Blessings.
Love, Caryl
Enjoying the family last summer

Dear Hampy,
It has been 2 years since you transcended from this earth and I still miss you just as much. Most of all, I miss being able to talk over things with you and the support you were for me; the generosity to not only your (our) children, but to me and Rodney. You are missed still by so many and will be loved forever. Continue to rest well. We will see you in a little while.
Love, Caryl

Happy New Year Hampy,
This is the second year I couldn't call you up and wish you a prosperous and joyful year and I still miss you.
Ricky organized the second Hamp's Winter Party fundraiser for cancer. This year monies went to the Chordoma Foundation to support Malik and others stricken with that horrible disease. The event was lovely, held at the Georgetown Ritz Carlton. Ricky has the same magnanimous spirit as you-so giving of himself and his resources.
Camille, Garnette and Ricky continue to care for Celyna and Ajay guiding them as "parents" rather than just siblings. The young ones are growing nicely. The focus on Ajay is having him be more serious at school and getting his work done. The playing of videos are substantially decreased now. Hopefully, Ricky will begin the new year with a new rule-no videos during the school week!! Celyna is on the Dean's list is school and all of us are proud of her. She is a lovely young lady.
I wish you a joy & love filled new year, which you are surely in the midst of in Jesus' arms.
See you later.
Love,
Caryl

Today is 11/22/2013 and I have known less than 12 hours that you passed away. I'm grief stricken Hamp that you have left us. My heart is too full to say much right now. I wish I had known that you were sick so that I could have been there to encourage you the way you always encouraged me the twenty-seven years that you were my orthopaedist. God and a whole lot of people know that you were the best of the best. You battled for your patients to see to it that they were cared for. Your reputation was stellar and the testimonies of patients in your waiting room who had been treated before you reminded me of church. You not only gave hope to the hopeless in horrific medical circumstances, you helped many patients who had been told by other orthopaedists that they couldn't be helped. I am at a loss
for words and my heart is so heavy. Looking forward to seeing you again in heaven. JoAnne

A Tribute to A Friend Forever. . . . .
H.J.J.Jr, you have been a good friend for many, many years. You have offered advice in so many areas and I truly appreciate that. I miss you tremendously. My heart is still broken over your death, and I know you know that. Although life goes on, the memories will last forever. You were such a debonair man--lots of flair, but simultaneously there was a pensive, erudite side with a lot of compassion. In your eternal peace, you will never be forgotten.
Yesterday...Today...Tomorrow...Forever.

Dear Hampy,
I thought about you immediately when I awakened on April 9, 2013. It seems such a short time since you transitioned. I think about you most days and miss being able to talk to you. The children miss you, your patients miss you and your friends and family feel such a great loss as well. Camille, Ricky and I traveled to West Palm Beach March 21st to memorialize Momma. It was a great service at St. Paul AME Church with many people I haven't seen for over 40 years! Oh the memories. Momma was such a dynamic woman in those days and there were many who told us so. You would have been so proud to hear how esteemed she was-but you already knew that. I include a picture of Regina and Merrill who was so gracious to us when we were there.
As always, I send my love. I miss you.

I can't believe we have been a year without such a great man gracing our presence. We haven't forgotten him, have we? Ironically, I came across this picture just yesterday and it brought back happy memories of long ago!

Thank you for being my boss for 30 wonderful years. I will
always love and miss you.

It has taken me over a year to finally post my feelings in this guest book. I still ache and miss my doctor. I was a patient for 19 years and in all of that time, Dr. Jackson ALWAYS was a straight shooter with me about my illness. He never sugarcoated anything and he always had a solution to the problem! I still remember the last appointment I had with him in the new office and I was reading a book entitled the Help and boy did he tease me, as only he could. I told him that I was on my way to England and he wished me a good trip. For some reason as I was sitting there waiting on my prescription, I had a long hard look at him and something said to me just one word, cancer. I now know that God was starting to prepare him for his final transition to Glory. Talk about being missed.....As far as I am concerned, there still are not many words to express what he meant to me as a Doctor and friend! RIP Dr. Jackson, you've earned your wings!

Oh my heart hurts! I just found out that Hamp has transitioned... I have such fond memories hanging out with him, our trips to visit Bill and Lou in LA. I remember our trip to New Orleans to buy items for the Foxtrap. I remember going to the house and eating Ruby's delicious meals after a long day of work. House parties (and clean up the next day...ugh) card games and so much laughter and fun. Mostly I remember a strong, intelligent, funny, optimistic, hard working, generous, handsome man who loved life and taught me so much about life and people. My prayers are with Camille and Ricky. He was so very proud of both of you! I'd love to hear from you and see how you are doing.
Hamp, you left this earth way too soon! We will rejoice together on the other side. Love and Blessings!

It's so heartwarming to know how many people loved and thought so highly of 'Hamptonian' my brother in law. I didn't know he had such a profound effect on so many. I suppose I took that for granted. But I love his children of course and love working with 'Meelie' at Caryls office. I'm so impressed with Ricky as well. And believe it or not, my grand babies love playing with AJ! What fine offspring Hamp left us!

This has been a very difficult year without you and your wisdom and friendship. You know they say that you don't miss the well until it runs dry. This is truly a profound statement, but I missed you when I could not reach you for our talks even while you where still here. My wife and I have an incredible love for you and your family. We rejoice when we are blessed with the opportunity to spend time with that wonderful young man that you raised called Ricky. We do not get the opportunity to see the other kids because we live in Brasil. May God continue to Bless your family. We truly love and miss you.

Hampy,
Just want you to know Momma was memorialized just before Christmas on December 21, 2012. She is buried next to you. She looked beautiful and we had all kinds of old pictures of you, us, all of the children-now on a disc.
We will be going to Florida the third week in March for a memorial there at Payne Chapel.
Momma really missed you and I think she was ready to see you again.
We all miss you here and are happy to know you no longer suffer and are at peace. Love, Caryl

I along with the core of Doc's card group (John, George, Brenda)attended thw Winter Charity Ball held in the honor of Hampton Jackson Jr. Not only was it done in the style the Doc lived, but it also allowed us to celebrate his life in a glorious way! As stories were told, and we shared our memories, Doc was in the room at the card table with us! Thank you Camille, Ricky, Caryl, and Rodney for once again sharing him with us!!

Momma's Birthday was this past Friday the 26th. She still won't say how many!
Camille, Garnette and I visited her at Angel Lakes home (a residential home 6 blocks from your home). It's a lovely place with about 8 residents there with caring staff. We had a cake, balloons and gifts,but Momma was asleep in her chair and would NOT be awakened for anything except to open her eyes once and ask "where have you been?"
I returned yesterday to see her in the the morning and she was wide awake and smiling. She had no recollection of my being there the night before. It's mostly short term memory loss-she remembers things that I have forgotten when Camille and Patrick were children! We opened her presents-new clothes that will keep her warm,a lucious robe and an aromatizer for her room. I even took her a big night shirt with President Obama on it and the slogan Four More Years. She was so happy. She smiled broadly when I showed her the cake and ice cream. Thought I would enclose a picture for you. She is being cared for well. We all miss you.

Hampy,
I thought about you every day this past week because on October 11th we had hoped to celebrate your 65th birthday. I still feel a loss from not having you to talk to, to call when I want to update you and seek advice about some of the things you had helped me with in my career recently. Your life was too short and in that time, you touched so many lives in great ways. Again, thank you for being in my life for so many years and although some of them were rocky, we remained friends to the end. Your would be happy to know that our children, Camille and Patrick, are entrenched in the lives of your younger children, Selyna and Ajay. They love them and feel a strong need to usher them during these important years. Rest well, Hampy and Happy Birthday.
Love, Caryl

I just found out today of Dr. Jackson passing, becausing I yet again required his expertise and services . When she said that he had died. I felt a heaviness in my heart, a since of being overwhelm. All with disbelief. He was a great man and a excellent doctor. You will truly be missed. Another angel receives his wings. May God grace and mercy be with the family and friends

I just noticed a new input into the Guest book and read it. In reading it, I realized how much I still miss my brother in law. (Actually ex-brother in law but ALWAYS my brother in law!) I'm not surprised at all the comforting words about this great guy! Of course, I see my niece and nephew all the time and even 'hang' with Ajay and Selena. They help me to remember someone who brought such good to so many people. I pray that his family will endure and remember how much he meant to so many people. I was also his patient when he fixed my back and I no longer have any pain. WHAT A great person and great clinician. See you on the paradise earth, Hamptonian!

I remember my very first visit, and the words Sonya we have to go in and fix that. I was so afraid, and worried because I wanted to have a baby, and the thought of going into my spine scared me like crazy. but he helped me through it, with lots of support and laughter. When I would go in for follow-ups, the wait was a nightmare, but his un-divided attention was there every single visit. The orthopedic surgeon that I see now, makes me miss him even more. With all the hurt he saw on a daily basis it's very humbling to know he was fighting his own pain as well, and putting on a darn good face. For that I say...Thank you Dr. Hampton Jackson. I am very glad I got the chance to know you as a Dr. and helpful friend.
