Earnestine Jackson

The Lord saw you through cancer three times, he always knew your pain until finally, after the fourth time, you said no more, he sent down his angels and rain. We knew we would have to face reality one sweet, sweet day and finally you took your last free breath three days before Mother's day, Thursday the 10th of May. We, your devoted family and true friends, are a little sad but happy you are home, free from all the pain.
