Dear Sis.Reita and Family
We were very sorry to hesr of Bro. Johnny’s passing. We always were blessed to be in church with your family at 2 different locations. In addition we could always depend on him snd his crew to fix what was broken. Just last month he did s huge job for us and I was truly blessed when we stoped talking about what he was doing and we started talking about Jesus! I know it brings comfort to you to know that he is right where he was longing to go. Knowing i will see iim again soon, makes it easier for us to keep working and staying ready to be there soon. I loved talking politics with him, who knew that would be the very last time on this side of Heaven we would meet. So I will pray for all of you daily as you grieve losing him here. Just hold on a little longer, Jesus is coming soon!
Please call on us if we can do anything to help you in amy way
We love you,
Dianne & Harry

We offer our condolences and prayers to Reita, Little Johnny and family
during this trying time of life. May GOD BLESS.
We remember when Johnny and I were classmates growing through the phases of life. This past Spring, we got to talk a lot about the past and the belief we both share in Jesus Christ.
Johnny talked to people with a respect and courteous manner and will surely be missed.
