Eldred your mother was such a special person. She was so friendly and always had a smile. When talking to her at church she was so spiritual and uplifting. Whenever I told her how much I admired her attire. She always mentioned my son got this for me with a big smile. Blessings to you and your family.

Mrs. Jackson, my first grade teacher! She taught all three of my siblings too.
She was the best teacher anyone could have. She was called to teach. Mrs. Jackson was so so sweet, caring and compassionate to us. I thought all teachers were that way or should have been that way. I learned that all were not. This teacher was one in a million! I will never forget her.
God has blessed my first teacher with many years for all the good He knew she would do in life. Now, take your rest Angel; you deserve the best!
God be with and bless my teacher's family, especially her son.

Family, you have my sincere condolences.
