Pastor Reggie, April, Ricky,
My heart broke when i heard of Sis. Effie’s passing. She loved me, understood me, and carried me in prayer for over 40 years.
I have her voice on a voicemail message that she left and i will cherish that message forever. Please know that i love you all and will continue to hold you up in prayer.
Love Cynthia Rejoyce Lindsey

Speaking for the Dekle and Miller families. Our hearts are saddened to hear of Sister Jackson’s passing. She, Rev Jackson and the girls are more like family than friends. We do believe she is resting in the arms of Christ her Savior and smiling with our Moms and other Saints. Peace and comfort to Pastor Reggie, the girls, other relatives; and of course, the beloved members of Glad Tidings Tabernacle of Vauxhall.
