| "I was blessed with 52 years of having the most wonderful, loving and giving Mother that a daughter could ever ask for. My Mother was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis when she was 30 years old. After 10+ surgeries and surviving breast cancer , shergins disease, and macular degenerate eye disease, She always had a positive attitude that was amazing. She was diagnosed with Leukemia at the end of July. And she went to her home in Heaven on September 30,2008. I am posting this on our web page in Honor of a Great Lady. And to tell everyone to treasure your parents...Give them a hug or a call...and a "I love you"......After all,those moments are all you have left in the end. Memories!!!!" --Mary Jackson |
