Not sure what to say?

Heart and positive thoughts go out to you and all of yours on the loss of Aleta, Mr. Johnson. You were both so blessed to have shared such an amazing long life together.

Mr. Johnson, sending lots of love from all the Orakers. We love you and are so thankful for Aleta's life. So good to see you tonight. Love and prayers to you.

Dear Aunt Aleta, I want you to know how proud I am to be your niece. You have always been so kind, thoughtful and loving. I'm glad for the time that I shared with you during my childhood, and wish that distance had not made visits so difficult these last many years. You will always be alive in my heart and memory. Love!

Aleta was an avid Rockies fan, and one of her poems to them was read at the opening of a game. It reflects good advice to us all: "They say it's all in the pitching. Each pitcher develops his own art, but he's not alone--there are eight more players on the field....Remember your fans are always with you." We are all Aleta's fans, and we know we can not do the pitching alone. We need each other. Linda and Pat Johnson
