I am so sorry to hear of Kenneth's passing. He and Cherry were in my Covenant Group at MPPC. He also would check in to see me when I was in Roper after my stroke. Prayers to all of his family.

Dear Cherry and Family, I learned today of Kenneth's departure. Since Geneva's departure I can feel with you. My mind went back to the day when you gave me the priverlige of hearing you exchange your vows and seeing you leave the church in a carriage. You two made a wonderful family. I wish I could be with you. The Jackson family have always been a part of ours. Please know our love, prayers and thoughts are with you. I pray God will take you in His arms and give you the peace that passes all understanding. Our Love from the Bob Pettit family.

To the Family,

I had the privilege of working under Dr. Jackson years ago at the MUSC pharmacy. We were installing the robot that would automatically fill patient prescriptions. He was one of the best people I ever worked with and under! God bless you all! The world of medicine has lost a shining star!
