Dear Dr. Apostle Jackson and family, I was saddened to hear of Mother Jackson's passing as she is a precious jewel and solder gone home! I remembered the last time that I saw her you were pushing her in a wheel chair at our Holy Convocation and I went to greet her! She spoke to me and remembered me although she was dealing with her illness. You're losing a jewel and a precious queen as Heaven gains another warror/soldier. As we know those that those who go to sleep in the Lord "is to be absent from the body is well present with the Lord". May God comfort, strengthen and wrap his loving arms around all of you,
Sister Doris Newell,
