Monticello, AR Friday, April 10, 2015 Glen, Larry and family, You have my sympathy at the loss of your sweet mother. I have known her my whole life and never saw her when she didn't have a smile. I remember being impressed as a kid that her hair & makeup was always perfect. She was one of my mother's dearest friends. I have fond memories of the Jacksons.linda funderburg
