So sorry for your loss. He was very special to our family. A very good neighbor and dear friend. He loved his family, church and his Lord. His beautiful smile is brightening Heaven now. He will be truly missed!
My husband and I have visited the church several times because my son is the Pastor. We really appreciated the way Mr.Jackson served Emma Church and was there for Pastor John. He was very talented, leading the choir and playing piano and organ. I am sure he will be missed. We also appreciate his service to our country. Our prayers are with the family and his church family.
Our love and prayers go out to Rays family. We are secure in the knowledge that God is in Control through Jesus Christ.
