Please know that the entire Johnson family has my deepest sympathy. For years I was not aware that the sweet faced man in church that always smiled and shook my hand( Mr. Bill SR.)was the father of the nice deputy on the front desk at work. I should have known. Two men with the same name and sweet smile was not a coincidence; but a gift from God. I pray that the family find comfort in knowing that Mr Johnson loved the Lord. So he's really smiling NOW!!

Eretha I don't know if you remember me because it has been such a long time since I have seen you. My mother Margaret was like a sister to your mother whom I called Aunt Mae. Your father and mother was part of my family growing up. I just wanted to give you my heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your father. Just remember that he is now in a better place and one day you will see him again. My prayers are with you and your family. May God bless you all.
