Jackson (Jennali) Grace Dempsey

I am sorry to hear of your family's loss. You do not know me. I felt the need to send my condolences. I hope your loved one has found gentle peace. You have done a great service, for all others, suffering from mental illness & addiction in Jackson's name. To this day, there is such a stigma associated with these diseases. There is not enough: Help, understanding, acceptance, and simple compassion. Far too many have been lost. By adding the message, you have offered hope to those who need it the most. Even in loss, you were able to think of others suffering. Thank you for help, simply by writing the truth. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family.

Bill and Candice -- Such sad news. Losing a child must be so very difficult -- impossible to comprehend. I hope you find comfort in knowing others share the hurt with you. The story of Jackson's life was well-written, tender and touching. May you both have many fond memories to cherish....

Bill and Candice -- You know us as your Badger Basketball seat neighbors, and we wanted to express our condolences on the loss of your child. Thank you for the strong statement in the obituary to spread the truth regarding the epidemic about mental illness and addictions. As you wrote and as you will remember, Jackson was the most kindhearted soul who showed people how to smile. Our sympathies on his passing -- Madeline and Steve Morgan

I remember having Jackson/Jennali in class. S/He always kept me on my toes. I laughed, struggled, I questioned, and loved the challenge because I loved her/him. We went knitting together in the summer with a couple of classmates, Hannah F. And Michael S. I picked her/him up from daycare and took her m/him to Lakeside Fibers where we tried to knit some bookmarks. I had such a great time with these beginner knitters. I think they did too, especially Jackson.

My friend we had a lot of fun shared a lot of laughs glad I got to see you again before god called you home you used to tell me everything I wish you would’ve told me the whole story we would’ve fought those demons together but I’m gone smile and hold on to the memories I have until we meet again for ever a friend in me -Zoe
