Johnnie if you only knew how much of an inspiration you were to me!! We had such good times together, time passed by and through the years we made contact again. I am so happy God had us cross paths in life. May you rest in peace. You certainly earned your wings and I am sure Puffy welcomed you with open arms. Heaven will never be the same with you two together. Love you and will miss you!!
I am extremely saddened to hear of your passing. You and Piffy were always such a joy to be around at the family reunions or whenever we were together. My thoughts and prayers are with my sweet cousins Kristi and Marla and their families.
Johnnie was a wonderful person who always had a smile on her face and greeted you with the best hugs and made you feel like part of her family. She will be greatly missed and I pray the family gets comfort knowing she is at peace and surrounded by God’s loving eternal embrace.
