Sending Prayers and condolences to the family
Growing up as cousins and spending summers at my big mama house the one thing I will always remember is your love for the Lord. You gave your life to the Lord at a very young age and never stop putting God first. As a teenager I didn't understand why you didn't want to party and have what at that time we called a good time. However, once I gave my life to the I fully understood. Your light has always shined bright here on earth and I know without a doubt it's shining bright in heaven. Rip sweet Jackie we shall meet again.
Rest in peace dear sweet Jackie, rest your soul. Continue blessing to the family's love to each of you! Helen Moss Mosley
