I was very sad to hear of Johnnay's passing. We were on the beach when we got the call. It was with a heavy heart that I told my son Eli the news. Eli knew Johnnay from school. He stopped right there on the beach, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed that God would look after her and welcome her to heaven. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers!

Shanae and family!
I am praying for all of you during this difficult time. Johnnay had a wonderful heart. Shanae, you were a great sister to her. You took such good care of her at school. She loved you tremendously and I know you love her too! Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Johnnay had so many friends who would gather around her at recess and make sure she was having a great time. They cared for her deeply and always watched out for her. Lean on the Lord during this very tough time. He will bring you strength and peace to your family.

To Joy and John, God knew that Johnnay was tired, so he gave her rest. Don't worry about her because she's resting in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Remember her smiling face. Steve and I will always remember her smiling face when she came in the store asking for candy. Then coming in the restaurant part, her and her sisters asking me all kinds of questions. I also remember her being at Southside Elementary School in Mrs. Campbell's room and me stopping by to say hi to her. We love you both and you will be in our prayers. Denise & Steve Day
