Tammy, Brett, Scott and other family members: None of us ever knows why God decides to take our loved one home and you will always have questions. But remember that Johnny loved all of you and was such a sweet and caring man. Johnny was fun to be around, because you could always count on a laugh when you were with him. It is never a good time to have a loved one go home to be with God, but this time of year is especially hard. I will be praying for all of you, so that you will not let go of that love and free spirit that Johnny had and you will always keep it near to you. Tammy, ANY TIME you need to talk please call me, no mater what time of day or night it is. I understand your pain and know exactly what you are going through. I love you!

Tammy,Brett, Martha,Ronnie & Penny.......My heart goes out to each of you and your own particular loss. From the little time I spent with the family on Friday evening thru to Saturday morning I learned how very much you all cared about Johnny and what a strong family unit you were when the chips were down. I wish I could offer some words to each of you that would explain this all so sudden and traggic event being part of your Holiday season....I have nothing....I am totally stunned myself with the suddeness and finalness of it all. God bless each of you as you go through your own greaving process, and give you peace in your heart.

Tammy.......I love you
