so sorry to hear of Mackey's passing.  Another member of the class of 1973 gone too soon. Reconnected with him a few years ago on FB. He always had great pics of his family.....and you guys had some great parties. I told him that someday I was going to come to GA and drop in for one of those parties. Praying for his family.

I would like to offer my condolences in the loss of your husband, brother, father, grandfather. uncle, cousin and my friend Poulson Jackson, aka Mackey.

On March 2nd I was forunate enough to engage in a telephone conversation with Mackey and reminisce about growing up on the Row and in Parkesburg. We laughed and joked and his spirits were high. Mackey truly understood and appreciated how the experience shaped our choices and our lives.

My sincere condolences to Mackey's family. I was also a 1973 graduate of Octorara High School. It sounds like Mackey had a wonderful family, friends, and a happy, fulfilling life. May he rest in peace and his spirit be eternally as young and carefree as in those high school years.

 Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My heart goes out to your family. Death is something we will never get use to. In fact, God's Word refers to death as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) Very soon our loving Heavenly Father, will remove death once and for all ( Rev 21:4) and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth. (Acts 24:15)

 

 If  you would like to learn more from the Bible about why we die or why a loving God allows suffering & injustice, please feel free to go to jw.org to find some very satisfying answers.

To Betty's Crew, Family Members and Friends,

My condolences to each of you. I know Mackey is having a great time praising the Lord. I am reminded ot a favorite scripture: "I will bless the Lord at all times, His Praise shall continually be in my mouth" Psalm 34:1  Dr. Maya Angelou tells us....."If you only have one smile in you give it to the people you love".Smile on Mackey and thanks for giving me one of those smiles! 

From my heart, I love you all and will be praying for you!

Janet L. Denson, Laveen, Arizona (By way of Parkesburg, PA)
