Johnnie you would not remember us, but when I saw the announcement I felt I had to send a note of encouragement and let you know that though many years have passed, and memories get old, that when situations arise we can pray. Prayer crosses all time lines in all situations. I was a student of yours at Duck Hill, my brother had known you previous to that. I also knew Kathy's family in Grenada. I know this is a tragic loss. Ya'll will be in our prayers.

Hi Johnny, You may not remember me from Delta State, but we were roomies. I married Teresa Martin of Grenada. Our thoughts are with you. Our son is 19 and I don't know how we could get through what you are going through. Please remember we are praying for you and Kathy. Dannie and Teresa Cutts
