I am saddened to hear of the passing of my long ago school mate Keiva. She once wrote in my 9th grade annual that she thought I was one of the greatest people she knew, and that I would go far. I don't know that I ever went as far as she would have wished, but not far enough to ever forget about what a sweet girl she was. She had to put up with a lot of teasing, and a few times I was there to try to shut them down. I know she appreciated it. I have thought about her many times over the years, and again am extremely sad to hear of her passing. She will always be in my mind and heart, even though I have not seen her in probably 35+ years. Those family and friends that are hurting and grieving right now, I wish for happy memories and abiding love for Keiva. Peace be with you old friend. Jerry Johnson

She will be greatly missed by the employees at Walgreens pharmacy. Stay strong Patty, I know its tough, but you now have a guardian angel to watch over you. God Bless you and your family.
