My granny jackson was a very devoted christian, mother and grandmother. She was a very proud woman and rightfully so. She had alot to be proud of. She loved all of her grandchildren very much. She had a big hand in raising me and i am a better person for it. She taught me to always have manners and she even taught me how to shop for groceries on a budget. She was a terrific woman and i will miss her so very much. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to remember my granny and share a few words. WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA
My family and I are very saddened about Robenia’s passing. She was very kind, generous and loving to me and my family. She was also very generous with her time and other resources to her church. I know she will be greatly missed but I rejoice that she is with her heavenly father and made new again!

Mark, Raymond & Family,
Our sincere sympathy to you and your family. I know this is a very sad time for you. We will miss seeing Mrs. ‘J’ puttering around in the yard. We’ll always remember her wonderful bananna bread. Let us know if there’s anything we can do.
