My name is Melinda Neal. I am a speech language pathologist. I only recently met Mr. Jackson. I worked PRN at Adams Nursing Home a couple of weeks ago.

People are right about first impressions. Although it was our first meeting, my time with Mr. Jackson is remembered...with a smile on my face. This particulaar day had been very trying. I went to Adams with a heavy heart and very tired spirit. During our session, Mr. Jackson gave me a smile and showed a sense of humor. He lifted my spirits on a day that I needed it most. For that, I am thankful.

My heart goes out to your family during this time. Please take comfort in knowing that God is on His thrown. Those who believe and follow will see Mr. Jackson again...on the streets of gold.

God Bless,
Melinda Neal
