I still remember Johnny, and think of you too, Lavelle. You were his guardian angel. He was just a delight to be around. I first meet him through Floyd(Froggy) and those two were a mess. I was one of Johnnies nurses at Dr. Bains office and also enjoyed seeing him.

Victor Randall,
I am so sorry about Johnny Lee. I know how much you love him. It seems with Johnny Lee gone, all of old Ivy has disappeared. He was a good guy like the rest of his family.

LAVELLA,
The employees of Crozet Family Medicine send our prayers and thoughts to you. We never tired of seeing Johnnie. Even when he was sick he was pleasant to be around.
I remember Johnnie sitting on the porch at Wyants Store with some of his buddies. Also he was one of the first patients I remember when coming to work at then Dr Bains office.
He will be missed by all who knew him
Michele and Crozet
