Daniel F Jackson, Sr.

To My Wonderful Husband

How can I ever express the love and admiration I have for you. You are my Love and my Heart. You’ve shown me strength, faith, courage, character and compassion.

I will never forget your smile, your walk, your talk, your style, your strong will, your honesty, your courage, your song and your love for me.

I will miss your face, your touch, your laughter, your kindness. You are the love of my life.

Forever your loving wife, -- A.B.

“Daddy”

We will miss you now that you are gone, But we know you must now take this walk alone.

You were our strength, our Hero and our rod.

Rest in peace. Rest in God.

Karen and Daniel, Jr.

My Best I am moving along through life with a song, I have done some good; I have done some wrong; Bearing the crosses, enduring the pain, With my eye on the goal I am hoping to gain; I am ever moved, by the Holy Behest, As I go through life to do my best.

I may not be able to reach the height, My aim is set and I’ll keep up the fight; If I never attain the shiny mark, That dims in the distant like a glimmering spark; I’ll keep my eyes on the goal in the crest, And if I lose in the fight I’ll do my best.

And then, when I come to the end of life’s way, Any my sun goes down at the close of the day; All weary and worn I shall cling to my shield, Though no herald acclaim me a hero in the field; In the cool of the evening I shall come to my rest, In the sweet conclusion, I’ve done my best.
