Until We Meet Again

As much as I hate to post these - for those of you who do not live in Ballinger anymore - we have lost another former classmate. JEEP has been ill and in a Ballinger nursing home since 2016.

Milford "Jeep" Jackson
DECEMBER 27, 1938 – SEPTEMBER 13, 2019
Milford Jackson was born on December 27, 1938 and passed away on September 13, 2019. 

No funeral services are planned at this time, but you can check with Johnson's Funeral Home in San Angelo. There may also be a complete obituary soon.

NANCY THOMPSON BAKER called me Sunday to tell me of JEEP'S passing. She also shared a cute story about him. 

NANCY visits the nursing home often when she has friends or relatives there. She said in recent years every time she went there JEEP was sitting in the lobby. She always said "hello" to him. "Do I know you?" he would ask. She told him, "Yes, I'm NANCY from our high school class." Suffering from a form of dementia or Alzheimer's, he never seemed to recognize her. Then, on one visit, she spoke to him as usual. JEEP surprised her when he said, "Hi, NANCY." She said, "Hey, you remembered my name!" JEEP answered, "I did??"

I'll try to post a few more upbeat items soon. It would help a lot if you would let me in on some of your news. One of my favorite happenings this summer was my (and BOB BURTON'S) oldest granddaughter Audrey got married in a beautiful outdoor wedding at our daughter Carajean's Lake Travis home.

A sad ending at the start of this post, but a beautiful new beginning for another generation at the finish.

Love and Peace,
