The family of Loree G. Jackson gratefully acknowledge your acts of kindness. Your prayers, messages, and other deeds of love and concern have given us strength during
this time of sorrow. May God's richest blessings be with you. The Family

When am I cast down, despondent sad, When I long to be joyous happy and glad? Why is my heart heave with unfathomable weight
As I try to escape this sadden fate? I ask myself often what makes life this way Why is the song saddened in the heart that is gay? And then with God's help it all becomes clear The soul has its seasons the same this year.
I, too, must pass life's autumn of dying A desolate period of heart hurt and crying Followed by winter whose frost bitten hands My Heart is frozen as the snow covered land Yes man too must pass thru the seasons God sends, Content that in the knowledge that everything ends. And Oh what a blessing to know there's a reason And find that our soul must have its seasons, Bounteous seasons and barren ones too, Times for rejoicing and times to be blue, But meeting these seasons of dark desolation, That comes from knowing that autumn time sadness, Will surely be followed by a springtime of gladness.
