(September 30, 2008)—Funeral services are Friday for a 64-year-old Calvert woman and her three grandchildren who were killed last week in a car wreck on Highway 6 near Hearne.

Daisy, 64, Demonyea, 3, Devonte, 10 and Starr Jackson, 4, will be remembered Saturday at 2:30 pm. at the Emmanuel District Association in Calvert.

A viewing will be held Friday at 6:30 p.m. at Garrett Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Calvert.

The family will be buried Monday at Colorado Cemetery in Colorado City, Texas.

The four were killed Thursday on Highway 6, when their car clipped the front of an 18-wheeler and spun into oncoming traffic.

De'Veena Jackson, 6, was the only survivor from that car.

She is recovering at Scott and White in Temple.

Donations can be made to the Glenn Mack Funeral Home in Hearne at 501 West Brown Street, Hearne, TX 77859

This message is in regards for "Syrup" (Jessica Jackson Khann) and "Prue" (Deborah Jackson); I am so sorry for your loss. "Booty" (DeMonyea Jackson) and my daughter Donyelle were born around the same time and we watched them grow and play together, never realizing how short Booty's future was. I remember always comparing Donyelle to Booty and worrying because Booty (DeMonyea) always seemed so far advanced than Donyelle. She walked and talked before my daughter did and I worried, as any parent would. I remember Prue telling Booty to "break it down, Booty!" and witnessing this waif-like child perform a series of dance moves that would provoke envy in any pop-star! I've never seen a toddler dance like that and I doubt I ever will again! Her right shoulder would start twitching and the waves would work themselves down as she "broke it down" to the ground! Performance complete, she would stand up straight and give us the most BEAUTIFUL smile in the world and we would clap for her! We miss m

What a very sad story. This family will be in my prayers. What a horrific accident. I hope the little girl recovering in the hospital makes a full recovery.
