What a shock to read about Uncle Johnny's death in the newspaper obituaries. I sure did love Uncle Johnny and am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Heidi and I send our love to Uncle Johnny's family in Australia and all of our cousins in Virginia, Georgia, and Texas. May God bless Uncle Johnny's arrival in Heaven and continue to watch over his family on Earth. I love you Uncle Johnny and will continue to reflect on all the times our families spent together while we were growing up. May God bless you all and heal your hearts and sorrow through time.
