To the Clagget Family. I remember the first night I met Johnny he was singing and I heard his beautiful voice. He was singing along with Danny. They both are wonderful men and have beautiful voices. As Johnny is in Heaven now he is singing still with the Angels as he watches over his family. Remember the ones in Heaven are "the wind beneath our wings" they will carry us through the days and nights. He would want his family to continue singing in his memory. He will be greatly missed!The Claggett family you are in my thoughts and prayers.
With Love,
Tammy Claggett
