Mama as you see so much has happened since you God called you from this suffering world. I use to be depressed around this time and didn’t want to be around anyone. Thank you for talking to God on my behalf. 9 years ago at tour funeral I danced to my greater is
Coming not knowing why God had chosen that song. For 7 years I grieved you and didn’t know why God called you when he did. I didn’t that he was preparing me to seek him. I didn’t that you had fulfilled the purpose he had given you. You were an example of a Godly women who I use to stare at and say I want to have a heart like hers. I want to speak in a different language to God like her. I wanted to serve God whole heartedly like her. I wanted to love people, I wanted to text his word like you, wanted to forgive like you. Thank you for being an example for me. Thank you for allowing your body to through things for my brother and I to be here. Thank you you praying over me. Thank you for everything. I watched the video on here from 2010 and and you were so proud of us. Your son is about to be a doctor in his field, running companies, and happily married. Mama I’m married, have a dance ministry, part of a loving church family, youth director, licensed cosmetologist, brand creator, a servant after Gods own heart. On yesterday the 28th I dance to open heaven. I didn’t even realize what day it was until I got on FB which I was fasting from. That spoke so many volumes to me and how far God has brought me. I love you and miss you so much but we will see each other again and this time we will dance together. I love you queen PS IM SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU ARE SAFE WITH GOD.

Dear Jackie.
The world is not the same without you. We all miss so much. You were a light in the darkness for this
World. Your love kindness and beautiful spirit can never be forgotten.. inspite of your challenges you touched so many lives. I will never forget the times we visited Arkansas you made sure the family got together share some times together. I shall never forget as I was walking down the isle towards your casket several ladies stopped me to tell me what a great Bible teacher you were. Yes u were such an amazing young woman. I felt your presence when you left this world came to my bed to say good bye. You had called me several days b4 to pray with in the hospital. God in his compassion said time for your suffering to be over. Now you have been made whole. Yes all your dreams for Omar and Dedra have come to be.They are doing great things and there is more to come. They are soaring as eagles. A mother's prayers never ends. God heard everyone of your prayers and saw every tear. You are such an amazing woman. Rest in peace.Miss u so much. ❤️

From: verlee

To me she is my sister and someone I think of often and at the oddest times. Sometimes it makes me sad and teary eyed and sometimes I smile and laugh at some memory or story someone may be talking about. BUT, my most memorable and precious time I spent with her was in Destin, Fl the summer prior to her transition. For me it became a very selfish time to me because I had her for a few hours All to Myself. I never imagined those few hours would be what would be with me forever.
To many she was a hero, an inspiration, a mother, wife, friend and many other things but, to me she was just my sister!!
Love you and Miss you

She courageously birthed 2 of the finest smartest children in our family ,Raymond and Dedra. We love and miss u soooo much. You ran well you never anything stop u. RIP. BIG SISTER Velma

My tribute is to my one and only.
She and I shared so many times, fussy conversations, laughs, cries, parties, and so much more.
She will today and forever be the one for me.
The fight for life, fairness, is genuine.
Jackie you live through me.
We won’t give up. I borrowed your wings.
See you soon. Love you and I miss you.

Today 6 years ago God said that he needed you beside him and called you home. These 6 years hasn’t been easy and I know you and God are guiding me and watching over me. Your son has grown so much I’m so many ways in life you would be very proud of the man you are becoming. I kiss you so much and hold you dear to my heart. I never

Wow! Jackie... it has been 6 yrs since you like a comet you zipped to Atlanta in my classroom and made your presence known that you had made your transition!
And then moments later I got the dreaded phone call that indeed you had finally gotten your wings! I know it was a bitter sweet moment. But, as God showed you the future of your children, your most prized possessions and endless possibilités you wld be able to GUIDE them into... you saw it was a bargain you had to accept!
Your children are doing WONDERFULLY! of course they miss YOU! but Time has a way of healing hearts!
I miss you immensely !!! Immeasurably but I’m ok bc I know you’re with me! It’s not hardly a day go by that I don’t think abt dad, mom, Brenda, Rosie, my brothers even though I never knew them.., of course you! And just one of my close relatives who is apart of my cloud of witnesses!
I LOVE YOU ALL so much and I pause this day to remember YOU, my sister ❣️

Hey Sis... WoW! It’s been 5 long years since you decided it was time for you to go! You kinda slipped away... but You had said all of your goodbyes and you were allowed a peek into the future to see that not only would your off-spring Rodney, Omar and Deidra was going to be ok...(with a few of life’s challenges) but you looked afar and saw that your sisters would be ok too! ...with their challenges as well.
Just know that each and every day that their is someone thinking and missing your presence! You captivated us with accomplishments, ability to write, your Love for God and your family!
You are gone but you Shall Never be forgotten for years to come.
Jackie, continue to make things happen for your children, sisters and your nieces and nephews- the entire family.
Hey, Aunt Edell gained her Wings just a few days ago.
Love you Forever...

Dear Jackie

Missing you today as if you just went away.i know you're with us now in spirit. Your presence in protecting your children Omar and Deidra is undeniably beautiful. God is the one who helps us through difficult times. He repairs broken hearts and he comforts the grieving with his crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair
ISAIAH 61:3. Today is a time to remember your beautiful life and your arrival in heaven your birthday of everlasting life. I love you dear sister. Continue to rest in peace and love. I pray that God will help me to continue this journey towards heaven through life as boldly as you once did so well. Your life dazzled us all

Mama I miss you so much words can’t explain. It’s not a second, minute, hour, day, month, or year that I don’t think about you. Everyday I wake up it’s a struggle to stay strong but I think about where and who I get it from then I accomplish my day. It still hurts like hell to know you not here but I know you in heaven without a care in the world. I try my hardest not to disappoint you and not kill you twice as your son would say. You we both will make your legacy great. I know I haven’t been to visit you but I’m still not ready still not at peace. Some days I’m at peace then some days I feel depressed. I know if you were here we would’ve kicked it and the whole day would be yours dinner and all. Laughs, love, and good times. I love you so much mama and miss you in every way. Keep guiding me and showing me the right direction even if I’m stubborn. Happy Birthday my love and continue to rest in paradise. With my heart, mind, body, and soul.

Hello everyone, seems like just the other day when Jackie and I had a conversation about life and what she wanted to accomplish. She did most of it and was working on the rest. I miss her dearly! And I'm glad I was able to meet Jackie and be a part of her great life. May she RIL

Sis you are missed by so many.It does not seem like two years ago that you earned your well deserved wings. Even though I miss you and even during quiet times I may shed a tear but inside I know you are looking over all of us and missing us as well. Miss you little sis but I know you are smiling and sitting with the other angels praising theLord.

Two years ago God granted you your wings of freedom and forever. It's 2017 and oh how things have changed yet remain the same. Your children and Ray are fine, having and leaning on stronger backbones.

Wow! It has been 2yrs since you left us. I often think abt you and all the times we shared. You loved us so much; and I dnt quite understand how you were able to let go! But bc I know that when you go to sleep on this side of living that you awake on the other side. You realized that you could get your wings and be with all of us whenever you see a need.
I thank you for not only looking out for Dedra Omar but I know you have ALL of us on your radar

To the most beautiful angel ever to enter Heaven's gates now resting in the arms of our Lord and Savtior, Jesus Christ. I know we still cry and long to hear your voice, see your face and hear your laughter and words of hope and wisdom. But, I know you are in a better place and looking down on us with that "Jackie smile". You are gone from this world but never forgotten. You will forever live on in my heart and thoughts. Rest and enjoy your pain free, worry free and perfect life in your new world. I thank you for being an example for your children, your spouse, your neices and nephews and your sisters and indeed all who ever had the pleasure to know you. I love you, your sister Bobbie.

This has been a tough week. The week of your birthday. I think of you often and miss you more with each passing memory of our times together. I know that you are at peace now in the bosom of God. I try to remember all the wonderful lessons that you taught us through your life. You were always so meek and humble, showing love for family in the best and worst of times. I love you so much, Jackie and I pray you get this message.Your children are so strong and beautiful; your motherhood and your life lives on through them and their father who has proven that he is strong and there for them. We were all together on Christmas so your tradition of the family celebrations live on. Rest now in love and peace Dear Angel Jackie.

Hey Jacki...I pause on this day to reflect...bc on this day ws the day none of us really saw coming. U were packing and getting ready to tke flight to the land where u wld live forever! We witnessed u going to sleep on this side of living bt we all can contest to knwing tht you still live! We miss ur earthly presence everyday bt we knw tht u had to go and fulfill Gods assignment. Ur babies miss u dearly but they are THRIVING! They r living ur and keeping ur legacy Alive by doing ALL those things they saw u do...and most importantly what you taught and told them. U knew tht this day wld come...so therefore you prepared them no doubt. I know I miss our late night phone calls...us giggling and laughing at my funny sayings...Its only been a year but it still seems like its only been days. I heard ur voice the other day and your message so was so PROFOUND & CLEAR!!!! U R OK! LUV U MUCH...as I would always say to U my sistah! Continue to R.I.L.& P...Sharmin

Jackie,
Words cannot express how I feel right now. I will truly miss you and have enjoyed being your case manager at UCP as well as a friend. I thank God for allowing us to cross paths. I have never seen someone so motivated and determined as you were and you did not allow your situation to get you down but kept moving on in your education and life. I love you and Jesus has received an angel. You will be missed but never forgotten. I will see you again in Heaven.
Love Winda

My Aunt Jackie,
The memories we shared will live with me forever. Because of you, I will always stay positive, regardless of what comes in my path. It is very hard to deal with death in our family, because of the closeness and bond our family have. But, we will get through this together and we will see you soon!

My dearest Jackie, you are truly a beautiful angel resting in the arms of the One who has watched over you, protected you, and loved you for your short 53 years on this Earth... GOD. I sat quietly reflecting on childhood memories and I thought of the day I witnessed you running through the house, laughing, jumping being an active 5 or 6 year old... then suddenly falling to the floor and telling us that you couldn't get up... no you never could get up on your own, again. But what I remember the most is that laughter never left you in spite of all your pain and struggles. I'll miss teasing you and making you laugh... Your smile, your optimism, your persistence, your love of God, yourself and family will be a constant reminder to us all that "we have nothing to be sad about" for you lived your life to the fullest never asking "why me?" I now say to your children who will hurt the most ... your mother will never be far from you... When you see the sun rise in the morning.that's your mother. When you see the moon and stars in the sky at night.. that's your mother. When you see a beautiful flower or hear the wind blowing through the leaves on a tree.. that's your mother. When you hear a bird chirping ..that's your mother. When you are consumed with total silence..that's your mother looking down from heaven and smiling at you. Oh , yes we will miss you, we will shed many tears, we will have many moments of unbearable silence. We had to let you go... we couldn't be selfish. I say to you sleep peacefully and rest, for you will have no more pain, no more heartaches. Don't worry about us... YOU'RE FREE !

The remarkable thing about Jackie is the number of lives she touched ... not just as a member of the Jackson family, but her church community, and countless pupils and students as a professional educator in Little Rock too. Anyone who ever met her could see her spirit could not be confined. She lived her life, her way, fully and truly. She set an example for us all to live up to. To my sister in law, Godspeed.

Wow! I just cannot believe that our late night phone calls are over. I am going to really miss you so much. I am just thankful to GOD for allowing me the opportunity to have such a beautiful, loving, giving, unselfish and smart sister. I thank you for loving on my babies...you always thought about them on their birthdays...when they had fundraising projects, girl scout cookie time or whenever. You always tried to buy something from them. They would argue about who was calling Aunti Jackie...bc they knew you would buy something. Wow! you are gone now but you will forever be in our hearts and memories. You meant a lot to me and my family. Jackie, Im going to miss you...and its hard to really express it with words but I have done my best. I LOVED u then and I will always LOVE you girl...its bye for now but make sure you visit me.

Dear Jackie, I will forever cherish the time the Lord gave us here on this earth. You were a very dear sister who loved each of us dearly. Your life was a light for the world to see. We thank God for the legacy you left with all whose lives you touched. Yes you are gone to soon for us , but Jesus knew your work here was complete. You finished your course. I look forward to seeing you in heaven where we will praise and glorify our God together around the throne. Oh, what a day that will be. The Lord spoke to me as you transitioned and I was awaken from my sleep " he said that you are Whole now". No more cares of this life. Love forever. Will miss hearing that voice in prayer.

Jackie it is hard for me to write this between the tears and heartache. When I was told you had transitioned this earth to your heavenly home I could not and did not want to believe it. But then I had to think about what you were gaining ....heavenly wings, no more tears,no more pain and no more heartache. I will always love and miss you and one day I want to gain my wings in heaven so I can once again laugh and talk with you about our love ones.Will miss you but I understand heaven has gained a jewel...Love Future..

Jackie when I received the news that you were leaving us, for a moment it seems the world around me was spinning. When I gathered my balance my words were "God help this family and help me"--because in my heart, I knew you were "good now" in the arms and bosom of our savior Jesus Christ.

Next, I got the call that you were gone and instead of spinning, for me the world stopped for a moment. I felt numb and a stillness I will never forget. I felt the power of God. Yet, I felt a void like a part of me went with you; and when I think about all the time we spent together on email, Facebook, phone calls and short visits during the years praying and planning for many things, I did not realize how much closer and deeper our sister friendship had grown. You helped me through some tough times and I you. Sharing our utmost secrets and insecurities, hopes and dreams as sisters do.

I thank you from the deepest part of my soul for trusting and believing in me. We often often talked about how our children were "each other's children". I love that about this family and we will continue to care for and love them 'til death do us part and then we meet again in heaven.

You took flight in the middle of the night and oh what a journey you must have had...if only I could imagine... !

An Endearing Memory of Jackie's Journey

A Sister Tribute

By

Dr. Cheryl Diane (Di) Jackson-Golden

A tribute to our/my sister—yes, she has made that great transition and she will be absent from your/my presence, but never our/my heart(s) and mind(s), but she has descended beyond “the cloud” and as you know, “nothing comes down from the cloud”.  She was saved; she was ready and prepared to meet her maker as evidenced in her confession as a Christian, her daily walk, her works, conversations and most of all her BELIEF…as always she handled her business.

This is a time of much sorrow… Rodney, Omar and Dedra...as a mother not a “mom” she loved you all beyond measures as all mothers do and I believe that you all know this to be true and she was so very proud of each of you for your individual contributions to her life and your accomplishments. To her significant other, Raymond... you shared with me one evening at the hospital “I made a promise to your mama and daddy and I meant it” …I knew what he was talking about. Thank you for all of the love that you were able to show my sister and being a man of your word in the absence of those that you made that promise to (its hard to get people to keep promises to folk that are alive, yet to stand on your word to those that are gone and unaware of your actions, thanks for the respect shown to my parents). To all of the remaining sisters you know she loved us in spite of our sometimes differences, but blood, love and upbringing keeps us grounded in understanding and forgiveness as Christ offers us grace each day. To all of the nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews she too loved and helped to care for many of you on occasions-trace your FACEBOOK posts and scroll the pictures; she was so very proud of you all. It was her desire as with people that she interacted with on a daily basis to give back what she had been blessed with and to share on many days what she had not been been blessed with “the full activity of her limbs”. In addition, to the many of care aides, we can never forget the unselfish acts of love for her and the children … your assistance to her in carrying out her extra duty wishes time after time.

She as with all of us, asked for what she needed in life, but as life has it be sometimes, what we need here on earth is often not available. I find joy in my heart and my belief that she is now in the land of plenty with the father that can bless her beyond measures, exceeding her every desire, want or need. As witnesses of her life and as family and friends share stories, as we read past messages that she shared through media sources about things that she was doing to make a difference in the lives of others, my pastor calls it kingdom building, “teaching Sunday School, going to Wednesday night bible study, counseling young people in or into relationships that would be pleasing to God, helping to prepare children to return to school though the giving of supplies”… she did not let her physical dictate her mental or on many days her physical did not dictate her true physical abilities or a lack of. She vacationed in sports cars, cruised the Caribbean, hung out on the beaches of the southern United States, fought to prove that she could attend regular public schools and there she excelled, earned three (3) college degrees including a Masters degree, helped to write papers for other scholars, fought for others with disabilities because of her knowledge…. so, as we see we are not mourning the life of a person that has gone on, because she led a full life and was accomplished, had fun, learned to live as Christ calls for us…we mourn our loss and true concern about what life is going to be like in the absence of “mom, the go to person, the prayer warrior, the make me feel good, the party and holiday planner” …to name a few. As Jackie slept peacefully, she did take it to the next level, “God got this” and he needs no help from us just a request again of our needs.

A Message from Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA)- Little Rock

February 3, 2015

As we know Jackie worked closely with the MDA for many years. Her most recent project was the Jump for Rosie Project. The project will be continue to honor Jackie and any donations to support a cure for muscular should be sent in the names of Rosie Jackson Sims and Jacqueline Jackson Long.

This is their message to us . . . in brief.

We are so sorry to hear of Jackie’s passing. Our thoughts are with you and your family/friends during this difficult time. You all have been such a great part of MDA and Jackie will certainly be missed.

Please let us know if there is anything that we can ever do for you all.

 

We are always here to help, and if your family would like to attend our Muscle Walk on March 14th in honor of Jackie’s amazing life, we would be blessed to have you join us.

Thank you,

Kara

I remember the time Omar surprised his mother and brought her to Atlanta to visit us here for her birthday. It was Omar, Yolanda, Raymond and Jackie. She stayed at my house and we had a BLAST! Hunni, you talking about shopping, eating and riding...we did it that weekend. We had the best time of our life! She rode in my car and she was so happy. We really enjoyed each other so much that weekend and it we were honored to be able to have them stay with us. We were so happy! 
One thing about my sister that I know for sure she LOVED PURSES and she loved to keep her home looking good. She loved ALL of her nieces and nephews too.
Im going to miss her so much.
