I am 45-years old. And, Mrs. Johnston was my second grade teacher, at Blue Ash elementary. She was a wonderful woman, and made a great impression upon me. I feel very blessed to have had her as my teacher. She was a great role model for many young children. You may be gone. But, you will never be forgotten...

I'm so sorry and saddened to hear of Mrs. Johnston's passing.
She was a wonderful woman and my third grade teacher. I have many fond memories of her, but especially of me standing outside her top floor room at Blue Ash School for talking too much in her class! She was such a kind and endearing woman, I grieve with you.
