Sister Jackson was a jewel and excellent example for me as a young woman growing, glowing and going on with God in the Church and in the Community. I loved to hear her sing “Where he lead me” and “Do not pass me by”. Sweet, gentle voice that tapped into heaven every time she sang. She has made it home! Love you Bro. Jackson, your friend Avis
I going to miss not seeing her when I visit Mt. Olive. There are many ways that I can Describe this very Lovely Lady. She is my Friend. She show me so much Love. Her Green Beans were the Best. You might even say she added Love in them. I Love how she Greeted me when we came in Contact. Yes her singing has brought a Comfort to my Soul. God I Thank You for this Angel. Her Spirit will be Apart of me. Good Night Dear Heart
Sis Jackson, was more than a member of Mt. Olive, she was a mother to some, friend, prayer warrior and song bird, she loved the Lord her God with her whole heart- her laughter and smile was one of a kind (through your head back and then lean forward) she was a fashionista, always exhibiting a character of Love, peace and joy. She loved her family and her Church family; and she will always be remembered for so many things and her Solo voice is one of them. Thank you for your kindness and generosity of Spirit..
