Maebell was a true lovable being with an incredible servant's "HEART". Our friendship crossed generations. My mom loved her and her family as "pocket friends". The kind of friends you can count on in season and out of season. And they loved all of us back. Her tender smile and gentle gestures will be missed. But the Copeland/Reeder/Gray Families will never let her memory fade. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ for the FAMILY

Sincere love, sympathy and condolences Family. I am one, who over my lifetime have come to possess very fond and precious memories of Sister Maebelle. Memories of not only her being a family member but also of her as a friend. If she could help you, she did. If you asked for advice, she would give it. It may not have been advice that you really wanted to hear. However, you would know it was sincere. Her home going reminded me of the following. "When our days shall know their number and in death we sweetly slumber; When The King commands the spirit to be free, we who are still toiling can only say, Go rest High in glory dear sister. Go rest high in glory until we meet again. Take your rest as all good soldiers must. We do love you, but The Most High loves you best. Keeping you all in prayer.(Your Family- Irene Hardy Jackson)

Dr. S. Jackson

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
