Janet,
Sarah and I just learned of your father's death. Please accept our condolences.
Both Sarah and I truly admired your father! In fact, we always wished we could teach on HIS faculty!
Again, Janet, you are in our prayers.

Janet & family, Shaun, Andre' & I were so saddened to hear about your dad's passing. I've known him since I was in elementary school, and I can honestly say that he certainly made his mark in this world, and he made it a much better place while he was here. And Janet, he was EVERYWHERE. Our family was on vacation at Knott's Berry Farm in California one day when my boys were small, and I looked up, and who did I see, but your mom & dad. Hey, that was like finding Santa Claus in the flesh! Please know that our hearts and prayers are with you during this time of grief. He was truly a wonderful man.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I feel honored to have known Mr. Jackson as a teacher and as a couch. His smile could light up a room. He taught me so many things, including a few of lifes lessons. I am so blessed to have known Mr. Jackson. He was truly a wonderful educator and person. I have thought of him several times throughout the years. He will be greatly missed by this former student. God Bless.
My sincere sympathy goes out to your family. Mr. Jackson was my teacher and my basket ball coach in junior high school those many years ago. He was so loved by the students and I have thought of him often over the years, always with a smile remembering his warmth.
Dear Kent, Janet And Family,
My deepest sympathy to you all.

Our family would like to extend our condolences to the family of Mr Troy Jackson. My dad was a school board member and had been VP during the time with Cyp Schoen. We had heard Mr Troy's name mentioned often and dad had a lot of respect for him. Regards, Family of the late Sidney L. Carter
Mr. Jackson was a wonderful man. He was my Principal at Lyon Elementary. He always took the extra time to get to know all of us. I know that he will be missed by everyone. God bless your family in this time of grief.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I feel so blessed to have known Mr. Jackson. He was truly a wonderful and inspirational teacher that everyone loved and respected. His presence will be missed but his legacy lives on in the lives of his former students. God Bless.
You will always be Mr. Jackson to me. I can still see you spinning the basketball on your finger, and I can still hear you singing swing low sweet chariot. Thanks for the memories Mr. Jackson, you will be sadly missed.
Dear Jackson Family, I remember both of your parents with fond memories, of laughter and fun times at Playmakers, during my summers. It was a pleasure to work with both of your parents and see how much fun that had volunteering at Playmakers and helping to build the sets or coordinate customs and make up for the entire cast for Music Man, Your A Good Man, Charlie Brown. My family lived in Covington, Country Club Estates for over 40 years. It was a wonderful time at Playmakers, each summer a different musical or play. I met some many nice people and enjoyed being a part of a wonderful community theatre group. I would like to extend my sincere sympathies to your family from my family to yours. Last year, we lost my father, it is so difficult to know that Dad is gone but we have precious memories, which are now cherished memories to keep in our hearts. God bless you family.
Thinking of you,
George-Ann Stokes-Townsend Atlanta, Georgia
