JACKSON - Mena (11-7-1948 - 20-1-2005) A mother’s Love has great magic and the loss of that is an all-consuming grief. There won’t be words that can help you. But memories, sounds, and the feel of clothing will. The things you see walking around throughout the day that gift you glimpses of her will.

Songs on the radio and TV shows; the certain way of doing things will bring her back to you. Disagreements and agreements with family and friends. The way you talk and listen. Sitting quietly, waiting nervously, or running out the door in a rush. The cereal aisle at the supermarket, cigarette smoke, or a newspaper open on the table. They can all remind you of a day, a time, a moment, a reason to smile again. The many wonderful things you didn’t even know you knew about her will come back and all the magic will return - filling your heart. But it will take time! Mena Jackson is twenty years dead today, Monday 20 January. Wife, Mother, Nanny, Daughter, Sister, Friend - loved and longed for by all that knew her. The light that shone from Mena lives inside all those she warmed with her smile, touch, eternal encouragement, and her hard-earned hugs. Love you, Mam! Sam and Phil.
