little Angel.

I never met D.J., but when she left us, I cried. For months, Sheila had forwarded D.J.'s email updates to me, and I marveled at her courage; her optimism in the midst of hideous physical agonies.

How did she find...

Sheila, thank you for sharing your incredible sister. DJ's courage and wisdom were clear in her email-journal. I am grateful for the lessons she and Bobby shared through her journey. Be at peace, DJ.

My husband, Ted, and I had a chance to visit with DJ at one of Sheila's birthday gatherings. I was so impressed with her sparkle and beauty. God truly has another angel now! Freda Thompson

Her Sister, Sheila Johnson
