    God is so good! This man leaves a legacy behind. Bro. J.B. Jackson was so full of life. I will never forget my childhood Sunday hugs from Bro.J.B at the church door or seeing him fishing on the river with Ms. Pete. This couple had a true once in a lifetime love for each other & it shined all the time. They will be missed dearly.
