Sandra, Sherri, Keith and families
My sincere thoughts are with all of you, and all my love being sent to my “Aunt Sandy”. What a wonderful lady, and I think of all the times my Mom and Dad, Aunt Sandy and Uncle Len had together. May they all be together again.

I’m so sorry to hear about your mother, she was a very special lady, one of the highlights of my childhood was talking with her, she always had the best advice and the best outlook on life. Thank you Mrs. Jackson, the old neighbourhood wouldn’t have been the same without you in it.
Keith, Sandra, Sherri & grandchildren. So sorry to hear of aunt Sandy’s passing. With that ends that entire generation of Jacksons and spouses. We are all blessed to have grown up in their presence and with their guidance. She was a lovely, classy lady.
