To the Jackson family,

I am privileged to say that I knew a man of God named Bobby Jackson. His devotion to his God fueled him everyday whether it was in his family time, church volunteer work, or being a friend. He led his family by example and few men of that caliber can be found like him. His wife, children and grandchildren are a continuing testimony of his sacrificial love for others and the faithfulness of a Mighty God! We'll be joining him on the other side of the River Jordan soon!

My thoughts & prayers are with all of you. Brother Jackson was a wonderful man of God. I have always deeply appreciated all he did to help my Grandmother (Christine Peek) while she was in Honduras. I know that he is in the hands of a loving God now, and he is at rest. I do believe that we will be joining him very shortly with the 2nd coming. Until then, may God bless you and give you peace.

Love in Christ,

Lori (Lewis) Hines

To the Jackson family - my deepest sympathies are with you at this time. I remember your family so well. We had such good times at church and at all of the activities. Bobby was always supportive of the youth and our programs. I am sure that he and Veneta are having a wonderful reunion. I will be keeping you in my prayters, and know that you can be at peace knowing that he is with the Lord.

Dear Kathryn and Family,

Our hearts are saddened by the passing of Bro. Jackson. What a wonderful example as to how a Christian man/husband/father and grandfather should live the Christian life! I'm sure he will be missed more than words can say, yet we rejoice knowing that he is in the presence of our Blessed Savior! Our prayer for the family is that, according to God's Word, He will grant you His peace which passes all understanding; and His grace is sufficient. We love you and your family dearly and are so thankful in the pathway of life, that God granted us the priviledge of knowing Bobby Jackson.

Love, Ralph, Mary Jo and Family
