Frankie
Frankie, Frankie O how sweet
to know her was to love her
if you were in the neighborhood, or stopping by,
you were going to sit down and eat
Something in her house was always cooking on the stove
that was just how she was
mother, sister, Christian, friend
God sent this Frankie from above
Peach Cobbler was her cup of tea
but Frankie could prepare anything
it wouldn't take long either
She could make the stove and the birds outside; sing
Her love of God and service were known by all
she loved preachers were grateful for their service
she helped many of them continue to stand tall
Frankie lived a long life and taught her children and grandchildren well
the girls all grown up show her legacies
with the men they chose to dwell
In this family through this matriarch you see a firm foundation instilled
so Frankie this one is for you
through mineraled waters that sleep
your guidance, your life, abides with us still
dedicated to Frankie Virginia Jackson, taken from the eulogy of her minister, Bro Richard Barclay 03.12.2022
Matt 25:23 'Well Done, thou good and faithful servant, thou has been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.'
Some of the legacies Frankie left;
Bro Barclay said, 'Frankie Showed and Taught me, that,
1. people don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care
2. To always have passion for evangelism and seeking the lost
3. To never forget to support Christian education, and to invest in Southwestern Christian College
4. Frankie always reminded me to never forget to send up my timber.
When Frankie was sick and shut in, she was still visiting the sick and shut in. Thank God for the Life and Example of Frankie Virginia Jackson.
A $5000 scholarship is being made in the name of Frankie Virginia Jackson scholarship to a deserving girl student, for the many many $20 bills that Frankie put into the hands of her minister Bro Barclay, saying 'thank you', and telling him to keep his mouth shut!"
Frankie is loved.
