Manya Jewel (Twite) JOHNSON

I only knew Manya from afar. She was a frequent presenter at our departmental meetings. And every time she was at the podium, the room lit up. She had such warmth, charisma and energy that our team fell in love with her instantly. And every one in the room instantly knew how special she was. She was someone who could make complete strangers smile ... and remember what's important in life. She was a gift to the world. And to the amazing family that gave Manya to us, thank you for bringing such a beautiful light into the world. I will never forget her, or the example she set.

Manya was a good friend very bubbly and full of life. Manya I believe you are resting peacefully at the bosom of our Lord Jesus.
