Add A CondolenceWith Warm Heartfelt Sympathy: The Jackson Family
Please accept our deepest condolences in the passing of my cousin-James "Cheetah" Jackson, our hearts was saddened. As I am writing in his guestbook, I am reminiscing about my cousin and his siblings; Button and Tooley when me and my sisters Marie and Joann would visit our paternal grandparents-Big Daddy & Big Momma house in Midway, Alabama. I have so many many fond memories of all the good times that we shared as cousins in Alabama, such as sitting on the porch talking and laughing until the candy man truck arrived , and all the cousins would purchase their favorite candy. Afterwards, we had chores to do such as farming- picking watermelons and caring for farm animals. I spoke with Cheetah a few years ago via phone when he was in Ft. Myers, Florida visiting my uncles and his tone of voice was the same as it was when we where young children- very kind and humble heart. Cheetah will be greatly missed, and may be gone from this physical earth, but not forgotten, because his memories will live forever in our hearts. May God continue to bless, strengthen , and comfort the Jackson Family to face these challenging days to come. Cheetah-"my cousin", Rest In Peace (RIP). With all our blessings, love and prayers, Glendora Jackson-Fudge & Family
