I met Nerissa at the Chicago Jazz Festival in about 1982 along with others who also became friends.  I just learned of her death and I'm  so happy to have an opportunity leave these words of regard for her.  She was a truly wonderful person - so smart, kind, and funny. I'm honored that she called me a friend.  God bless, dearest Nerissa.

May GOD almighty bless and keep you. Auntie you will be messed  we all have a life to live an a journey to travel so glad I was a part of  your life... I will  see you as  the white clouds passes by & the warming breeze touch my face memories  forever...

Matt 5:16
This verse is an example of Grandma Nerissa to me...

Glory to his name! Lessons learned from grandma Nerrissa on how to cope with family. Never shall I for get it. Loved and will be missed. Love in my heart for the family....let stay close in contact.

I will greatly miss my Aunt Nerissa, but I do know she's going to a better place. The memories we shared as family will always stay in my heart.

I bid you farewell Aunt Nerissa you've done your best, now you can go home and get your rest.

From Maurice, Michelle and Marcus Jackson
