I just realized that I forgot to include Vern's name in my guest book entry. I am so sorry, Vern! Coming from another large Johnson family, I know how it feels!

Please forgive me! And at a time when you need to feel the support of your family!

I am so sorry for your loss. I think our dads look a lot alike. It's almost like my dad's twin is gone - - and I know he misses his little brother!

Take care.

To Aunt Lucille, Cousins Jim, Duane, Mike, Patti, Linda and Michelle.

I am so sorry for your loss. I think I understand some of the pain you are going through since I lost my brother, Ken, about 6 months ago. Although he had been sick and suffering like Willard, it was still painful to lose him. It took my breath away at times and my heart ached as though there was a hole that would never heal. I don't know if your heart ever truly heals, but it does get better.

A friend...
