I was saddened to hear about Ms Jackie. May God wrap his arms around you and give you comfort now and in the future. It is a hard thing to lose your Mother, but she is rejoicing with the angels now! Love to all the family.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your precious mother. Mrs. Jackie was such a sweet lady. Just last summer she called my number by accident and when I realized who I was talking with, we had the best conversation! We talked about Beech Grove and "the good old days". She certainly was a jewel of a lady. You were so blessed to have had her as your mother. Again, I am sorry for your loss but I know she is rejoicing in Heaven right now.

I would like to say this was the sweetest lady ever. I was fortunate enough to have known Ms. Pickle. I lived by her and Seborn growing up and have so many wonderful memories of both of them. I do know she made the best hotwater cornbread and always had some made when I would sneak out to go over to their house. I loved this family and I know our Lord has called home two angels. Love you always Ms. Pickle.
