This morning, with heavy hearts, we extend our prayers and deepest condolences to the family, loved ones, and congregation of the late Rev. Jessie Jackson.

Rev. Jackson was a devoted servant of God whose life reflected unwavering faith, humility, and a genuine love for people. Through years of ministry, he touched countless lives offering guidance in times of need, comfort in moments of sorrow, and hope grounded in faith. His commitment to service and his steady presence in the community leave a legacy that will not be forgotten.

We pray that God grants peace, strength, and comfort to all who mourn his passing, and that his memory continues to inspire lives of compassion, service, and faith.

Happy Valentines Day 💖

Today, we are praying for you. We pray that even in the midst of grief and loss, you continue to feel the presence and love of those who have gone before us. For many, Valentine’s Day 2026 may be your first without the physical presence of someone you deeply love. Please do not see this as love lost, because true love never ends.

If today brings moments of loneliness, take a moment to close your eyes and remember the touch, the voice, the kiss, and the embrace that still live in your heart. Love does not disappear; it transforms and remains with us always.

Please remember that here at Cunningham & Associates, our care does not end when services are complete. We continue to stand with you, offering compassion, support, and love today and always.

In Mississippi, Frank Berry became the first licensed Black embalmer after the state began requiring licensing, and he established one of the first Black-owned funeral homes there in the 1880s. His license ( #64) is often cited as evidence of him being among the earliest licensed Black mortuary professionals in the United States.
