Mr. Rochfort, Johnny,
I can truly say, I wish I had known you better. You probably didn't know my name, and until today, I didn't know yours. I remember always smiling when I would saw you coming. A kind, soft spoken man. Sharply dressed, and at peace. You've helped me realize: people you meet in passing, are worthy of your time. I wish I had taken more of it, to pass with you.

Cousin Johnny, (Lional Rochfort)
I am so glad you were born! I met you long ago when I was a young girl. Mom introduced you to me and my sisters when you came to visit. I can't say I remember you a lot, other than I liked you. You were nice. Through the years I heard through mom (Sylvia Myers) you were doing well and had married and was expecting!. I am thankful for my family. I pray you had many wounderous moments and a life lived with laughter, family, friends and neighbors. Johnnie, I am glad we met. Until we meet again, may God bless your family and keep them. Nansi Myers ( =
