We had a hallelujah, roof-razing, spirit filled, soul saving Worship service today 9/11/19 Celebrating the Life Of our own Jackie Ransom. In every note of every song we felt her passion clothed in praise. From My Soul Is Anchored to I Really Love the LORD.
Her Choir Robe was set aside reminding us that one of us is gone. The Hammond piano draped in black tulle emphasized the keys her earthly hands will no longer embrace. The Church pillar near where she sat covered in black poised with music notes. This alone would give rise to sorrow if one did not know where Jackie is. But because we know Jackie is with JESUS... we celebrate knowing we will see her again.
I imagine her watching us from Heaven shouting Sing Choir! Sing to the glory of the LORD. And we did just that!!!

The love of God was revealed through her warm, caring, and welcoming demeanor. Her support and kind words of encouragement will be with me always. The music in her soul was played gloriously by the way that she ministered through chords and melodies. I thank God for placing Jackie along my life's journey. May the Peace of God comfort the Family and Friends.
