Denise is a beautiful, dedicated wife, mother, daughter, and woman of faith. I also find her very humble, which is very appealing to God. He seeks out the humble ones. I applaud her dedication!
Praying that Denise Jackson is still living…
Denise is a role model for all of us…old and young. She is an adorable person and gorgeous inside and out and does not seem to have the spotlight on herself. She loves her husband deeply it appears and if you have read her books, puts him on a pedestal, not herself.
I love country music and went country dancing 4 or 5 nights a week dancing with Alan’s music. I am 80 now and those days are in my thoughts now, I would give anything to come visit you Alan, I would drive there if I was invited. I am a retired military man of 20 yrs. I am also a Born Again Christian. Love to hear from you. I know God had a hand in it to cure Denise’s cancer for sure Thank God for His mercy.
What is the name of her book? I would love to read it.
No, Mattie’s husband passed away not Denise’s
I thought Denise Jackson passed away in 2017
Hopefully, incorrect info
It was Mama Ruth Jackson, Alan Jackson’s mother, that passed away in 2017.
Alan Jackson’s mother passed in january 2017
