Dear Lois,
I am so sorry that Layton had to leave us, but rest assured I'm quite sure him and Algae Pearson are doing something up in Heaven, you and Layton are very dear to my heart and if there is anything I can do for you please don't hesitate to ask. I just learned of your lost today. May God Bless!
Peace

Mr. Johnson was always a very nice man and I am so sorry for his family. I know he will be missed. I did not know until this evening that he passed. After all he has been through I know it is a comfort that he no longer suffers. God Bless.
