Dear Bessie,
Sincere condolences to you and the family. Johnnie was like a part of our family and we are thankful to have shared a wonderful friendship with him for many years. Johnnie was a role model and a source of inspiration to many especially our elderly mother whom he gave communion to when she was no longer able to attend church. He was a Good man and Faithful Servant! "May He Rest Peace". The Miller Family, Mrs Miller & Kim-Ct, Herbert-Tx, Anita-NJ
