Michael it’s been a long time but, you guys have not been forgotten. I wish I could be there to hug you and remind you how much I LOVED your mother! She truly was the most special person i’ve ever known who was always enjoying the things most people take for granted, like the sunshine,rain,green grass,streams and lets don’t forget flowers and all things living. Never forget your mom loves you! Anyway I can’t come home to N.C. right now but I’ll try to be in touch soon. take care.luv Sarra (another JESSE’S girl.)

David and Glenda
Wayne our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this time.We are here if you need anything.
We were so sorry to hear of Sis’ passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. She was truly a free spirit and a nature lover, that was evident by watching her fish at Lake Keowee and just enjoying nature. The comfort now is knowing that she is ‘Running with the angels on streets of pure gold’. Our Father in heaven is taking care of her now, we feel that you all realize that with your obituary statement regarding ‘the celebration of her life.’ Death is not to be grieved, it is to be celebrated because one day we will see our loved ones again, Praise God!!
Sincerely,
Jim, Linda Wllace and Family
Michael, So very sorry to hear about your Mom. Please know we’re thinking of you. Love you, Gary & Carolyn

I feel as though I need to explain something on here. I was the first person to leave a message on here and for some reason it did not include my last name. I called the funeral home to have them add my last name on the page and instead someone listed me on the online obituary page for Sis as a niece. As much as I love this family I am not a family member and I apologize for any confusion this may have caused, I have spoken with the funeral home and they are suppose to remove my name from the obituary and add my last name to the message instead. I want to apologize to the whole family for the confusion and to let you know I am not being disrespectful in anyway. I loved Sis and am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
Wayne, Micheal, and family, I’m so sorry to hear about Sis. She will certainly be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.- LaVonne Jackson
