Rest in Peace Jackson
Emmanuel Children's Home lost a dear friend when Jackson passed away last week. Jackson has been working at the home since it started and we will never be able to replace his contribution. His loss is especially hard for the children who have all grown up in his caring hands, felt his love and compassion, and learned from his humble example. He was always a kind listener, offering help and hard work without prompt, giving advice and reassurance in hard times, a vital and respected link to the community of Middelburg. We will never forget these gifts he gave us and he will live on through the children whose lives he touched.
