"Her family and friends ask that, in the memory of Ms. Johnson, you donate patience to one another, kindness to a stranger and, most important, love to yourself and to the world."
WOW. Such class and grace. Cried like a baby when I read that.
Incredible message from a beautiful family.

I only "knew" Ms. Johnson through her music.
What a gift her powerful voice was to the world. I can´t watch "Love Is All" too many times.
More importantly though, a beautiful human gone FAR too soon.
Sincerest condolences to her friends and family.

"Love is All" is a phenomenal song sung by Ms Johnson. I have the video as well as the song in my music library. I just shared it with a group of friends last week, however, I saw the video for the 100th time a couple of months ago, but this time there was an "In Memory" notation and I was both shocked and heartbroken. Certainly gone much too soon was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice and unmatched poise. I feel comforted that she is resting in God's Memory.

I just found out that the very talented angelic voice of our day Vann Johnson passed away. My heart aches for the world who lost a very gifted individual whose powerful voice united the cultures in songs " We are one" and "Love is all." I cried on these two performances. It made my heart ache for unity and peace in our world. That is the message of hope that someday the whole world can live in unity and peace. I can just imagine Vann singing for a whole new audience in Heaven. May God be with her family in thier lifetime of mourning and may God let your family know that you did not cry alone when God saw fit to take this beautiful caring individual home. I hope to see her in heaven singing with all those souls who left us way to soon on earth. May God bring the peace that passes all understanding to her family. My deepest condolences to all the family. Sincerely, Rosa Sullivan

I saw the Yani video I believe back in the eighties and fell in love with Van. I thought she was so classy and beautiful. I told my relatives that were watching the video that she is my type of girl, I am so moved that she has passed on, but continue to play her song on spotify, I envision her in her pink gown Singing so beautiful .My heart is very very sad, She along with my relatives that were watching the video back in the eighties have now all passed including my parents and my twin sister. Van and I were just 2 years apart, It's ironic, I am also a part Greek Michigander (Yanni) and also moved to Laguna Nigel, Ca. She will as they all do live in our memory
