Oh I am so, so sorry to read this.  I am hurting for the loved ones, family and friends.  I guess Jesus needed another angel.  Be strong in the Lord Jackson family and rest in knowing that you will be together again someday.  Praying for strength to get you all through these coming days and weeks.

Oh the shock of reading this,,,, I offer my deepest Sympathy to all those, of both Families, especially Mattie. Bless her . She is such a  sweet Young Woman , I cry for her,,,typing this..

He was a terrific guy I'm sure, only married a short time too.

I'm sure it will be difficult for Mattie and I Pray she will feel God holding her, to comfort her loss.
We often wonder why these tragic things happen, even as Christians. But we must turn to God for comfort.

My sister's son died just after having finished seminary to Preach, She lived in Fayetteville, GA near where
you turn to go to Alan's Mom's Home (before she passed) They were devastated. Mattie Keep The Faith.

God Bless  and Especially give "Mattie" the comfort she needs, they were so Young.
God Bless All, in both Families and You are in My Prayers . Just so sad, Jerrie,  formally MS. Hometown
