In Memory of Mother Odessa Jackson: Words cannot express how much I admired Sis. Odessa Jackson. She will be greatest missed. Not too many musicians still teach anthems and hymns in the Black Baptist Church. When I was a child, Sis. Jackson taught songs of “HOLINESS" that ushers in the Holy Spirit, whether the younger generation wanted to hear them or not. The Golden Gate Missionary Baptist Church family has lost a bright light and faithful witness for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My mother and the Jacksons were neighbors for nearly six decades. I was a playmate of Sis. Jackson’s only child, Jimmy, and claimed him to be my brother. I too was an only child. If there was greater passion for anything other than Golden Gate Baptist Church and music, it was the love for her husband and son, James W. and James W. Jr. The Jacksons was the family in the neighborhood that many wanted to mimic. Sis. Jackson was a gifted stay at home mom that stayed busy. She was the Minister of Music of our church for 56 years. She taught music and voice in her home on Cliff Street. She was a prolific seamstress and tailor of menswear and was born with other inexhaustible gifts and talents. Of all the many, many conversations I had with Sis. Jackson, I can't remember a time when she did not share the faithfulness of God. Even in this situation, God shows His faithfulness by delivering her from future pain and suffering to eternal rest with Him. I will miss you Sis. Odessa! I love you, but God loved you best.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed my time at Golden Gate a couple weeks ago, the people I met where so kind and welcoming which means so very much. I want to thank you for opening the doors to me while I am seeking a church home. I am so impressed with what I saw and experienced that I want to continue to be in your midst. When I left that day I could hardly stop talking about my experience. Everyone I talk to I tell them how being there was good for my soul. I have been looking at the website today and I would like very much to get involved with some aspects of your outreach, recovery and perhaps prison ministry. You see I have been there and done that as the young people say and I have a lot to offer those that are trying to get where I am now, in my life. I look forward to this Sunday, Lord willing and I live, I want to be where I am wanted. Thank you all again for everything.
