    1. Auntie Janice,Jr, Albree,Shauni,Elijah. My family. Although Janice is our cousin, we called her Aunty because of her success and stature we called her AUNTY Janice. I’m so sorry for your loss. As I am away from the old family I didn’t know and was not told until December 2025 about my beloved brother Hyman. My father Deacon Jackson at times would get quite noticeably jealous as I looked to Hyman as my Inspiration to keep on pressing on being a musician of EXCELLENCE! I left church at 17, but STILL carry in my heart his teachings of practicing for perfection. AND
      to Play to the glory of the lord with ALL OF MY HEART, the very thing Brother Minister Hyman taught to us all. My heart is broken to know his sufferings now, where as I didn’t know them then, being estranged from the family. When
      Mom was too rough and stern, Brother Hyman would secretly pull me to the side and give me hugs and encouragement. As a kid his big belly was a sign of strength. Protection and Safety I didn’t feel elsewhere. And my heart is broken because, I never got to tell him how I truly felt about
      Him. And to thank him!!!! Hyman would be so proud of my work. He would be so proud of me. Jr and Albree, I love you both, and am so grateful for your contagious laughter that fills my childhood memories with relief. I wish I wasn’t so reserved, and scared at the time I would have embraced the brotherhood at 16 Helena. Shelby my low, I’m so happy that life has afforded you happiness. We haven’t spoken in ages, but I remember you beat me up at my mom’s house when we were little. I said to myself ain’t no way this girl is stronger than me.! I love you Queen. Shauni was just a little girl when I left her and Elijah. How god had watered our children. They are protected under the cloak of righteousness. To see the bond you have with my nephews, I couldn’t be more proud and grateful that the Helena St family is still entangled in the love of the lord.

  4. Father, Dad Has Gained His Wings and Maybe a Spot in Heavenly Choir. 🎵 May You Two Continue to Watch Over US and know that we’re Missing You Dearly and Loving You Forevermore 💕
