My heart goes out to the Johnson family, Godfrey and I have been the best of friends since childhood, what a blessing that still today we remain bestfriends and always a brother. Pop is in a better place now where there is no pain nor suffering, he's looking down on you all saying it's alright to share your tears, but I am fine and will see each other again. Pop will always live in you heart. May God Strengthen your heart and shield your pain.
