Melinda Johnson Obituary

Johnson, Melinda Ann Our beautiful Melinda Ann Johnson, passed away in the peace of her home after an eight year battle with metastatic breast cancer. Her tremendous courage and selfless love will never be forgotten. She was a relentless warrior in a fierce battle against cancer such that her tremendous doctor called her a miracle. She will live on to inspire all those who knew her. Only Melinda's spirit and faith could have allowed her to persevere. She is survived by her husband, Jerry; her daughters, Kaitlyn and Kara; her son, Bart; her sisters, Janet and Kathy; and her brother, Jim. A mass in her honor will be held at St. Thomas More on Tuesday, 11/23 at 11am in Irvine, CA. A reception will follow at the Newport Beach Country Club.

I never got to meet Melinda..but over the years we talked on the phone...many times while my Mom was sick and dealing with cancer.
Melinda was so positive...and I felt like I knew her. On November 3rd she called me and told me that the doctor said he wasn't going to continue her chemo anymore...and she had maybe 3 months. We talked about having lunch one day before she left this world...but that never happened... Melinda I will always remember you my friend... Your heart was so pure...and you were so beautiful! I will miss our talks... Taree
