Remembering Mr. Edward (Eddy) Jackson from the UAB CFAR |
|
It is with deepest sadness that we inform you of the passing of Mr. Edward (Eddy) Jackson. Mr. Jackson was the UAB CFAR Delegate to the National CFAR CAB Coalition (N3C) and part of the Inter-CFAR Faith and Spirituality Working Group. Mr. Jackson was a mentor for me in the Faith Spirituality field. He helped guide and develop the N3C Faith and Spirituality Committee. His memory will live on in our work.
Regards, George Kerr III, DC CFAR Community Partnership Council Chair
