Dear Davis Family, I just found out today 09/07/13 of Johnnie's passing. I remember Johnnie when I attended Delmarva Evangelistic Church in Salisbury, Maryland. Our prayers and thoughts go out to his family and friends ...

Thinking of you Ms.Kitty. I'm sorry,
I just heard yesterday.
I didn't know him very long, but we had several conversations of "do you know"...and I got a big kick out of his "one liners", we enjoyed some "giggles" during a stressful time. Our last ride in the community was only a few weeks ago, He was so proud of the work you and he did.
He was very proud of his son. He was appreciative of his friends, especially Mike.
take care, cindy rickards, atlantic shores

Dearest Kitty and Family,

We retain many fond memories of Johnnie and the sweet fellowship we all enjoyed together. Johnnie loved God. This was clearly demonstrated in everything he did through his service and giving. We are truly sorry that because of a scheduling conflict we are unable to celebrate his home-going with you. Please know that you and your family are in our sincerest prayers for comfort, strength, and wisdom. We love you!
