I remember the barbeques on Sunday, the homemade vanilla ice cream (especially with fresh peaches!), the time we watched the Ed Sullivan show and saw the Beatles for the first time...all at Daddy Harolds. I remember being allowed to drive the "green bomb" which would be a collectors item now...and by the way...it was Daddy Harold that had the patience to teach me to drive. I remember how he walked into the kitchen while I was boo hooing because the guy I was in love with at that time (his name was Everett and I was 16) was leaving for the summer. I put my arms around Haroldand just sobbed...Daddy Harold just patted me on the back and let me cry. Then there was the time when David my brother came up missing and we searched the neighborhood along with a lot of neighbors...we looked for what seemed hours and hours...and then there was David right there behind the pump shed (no longer there) as he had gotten scared and falled asleep...but when David finally came out this strong man who feared nothing broke down and cried and hugged his son David. These are some of my memories of my Daddy Harold who married my mom and took on a family of four kids and supported me while I was growing up. I greatly appreciate what he did for me.

Daddy, Because you are now asleep in death, and you can no longer be with us, I wanted to leave this message for others to read. I love you and miss you. Your grandchildren Summer, Savannah, David Jr. (who you called Cowboy pizza boy), and Shanna love you and miss you too. We look forward to seeing you again in the resurrection. Psalms 37:29 says "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." Psalms 146:3,4 says that when a person dies his spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground, in that day his thoughts do perish. Romans 5:12 says "Through on man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men." You are simply in an unconscious state, sleeping, waiting for Jehovah God to awaken you. Ecclesiastes 9:5 says "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." Romans 6:23 "The wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life." John 5:28, 29 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." When Jesus was on earth, he showed on a small scale what God will do in the near future: he resurrected several people, for example Lazarus and a 12 year old girl. This was to show what God is going to do on a large scare, millions of people who have died will be resurrected, with a chance to live forever on a paradise earth, which is what God originally intended for the first humans, Adam & Eve, whom He created to live forever in paradise, ON EARTH. Because of their sin, they were punished to die. Since all humans were born after Adam & Eve, we inherited sin, and thus all have to die. This is the hope that my children and I share, and hope that anyone reading this will find comfort in this message. Jehovah God is a God of LOVE. He would not torture anyone in a fiery hell. He is a forgiving God. It is His desire for everyone to come to a complete knowledge of Him. With love to all, Renee Sehon Jackson
