Daddy, I'm at a loss for words while at the same time I have SO, SO much to say. I want to thank you and say that I will forever be grateful for the life you gave our mama, myself and John and the long, hard hours you sacrificed so that we could have the things we wanted. I'm so glad that our last conversation gave you the joy that it did. We all know how much you loved us and the wonderful memories we all have, no one will ever be able to take those from us. You were a wonderful daddy, rest easy and pain free. Your family will be ok. Love your daughter, Miranda PS: I know it was Hank Sr.

He used to take me home everyday from school just so that I wouldn’t have to ride the bus home. He loved me so much and I couldn’t of asked for a better grandpa. I spoke to him every night and he would always say I made his night better just by hearing my voice. I will miss him so much but I know he’s in a pain free place now.

When I would visit Miranda, he said silly things to make me laugh. He told me stories of high school with my Dad that I cherished. You’re family is in our prayers. We pray for peace, comfort, joy and to value your sweet memories together. Love, Terah & Chris Jackson and children.

He was the younger brother of my friend Dorothy. I dont recall he ever created any trouble or made a nuisance of himself during sleep overs. He was fun and had a healthy sense of humor. I am so sorry and know he will be greatly missed. Prayers for one and all.
