My continued prayers and condolences are with the family. Johnnie was and will always be remembered as the the beautiful person she was inside and out. I will never forget her inviting spirit and beautiful smile. One of the nicest women I've ever meet. I consider her my cousin/family even though not related by blood. She was a good person and would always light up whatever room she walked into. It was a privilege to have been in her presence. I'm sure she is basking in the joy and peace Heaven brings.

Cousin Evelyn, Oberia, and the rest of the family,
I was saddened to hear of Johnnie's passing. It seems like yesterday that we were little children playing together.
God is a caring Father and He knows just how to heal your hearts. May the precious memories that you hold so dear, be the compass that lead you through this time of sorrow. And may God's love cover and strengthen you.
Love you all!

Family,
There are no words that can soothe a heart sadden beyond all thought. But our heavenly Father does not put more on us than we can bear. It is with His Holy Spirit that we can find strength to make it through the storm. He grants us the power to persevere.
Johnnie was the brightest light I knew. I don't ever recall seeing her with that dazzling smile and that joyous twinkle in her eyes. She was indeed a Phenomenal woman/sister/friend. I will miss my "Sisterinlaw" as we affectionately called each other. May God's ever present and abundant love carry us through this time. You are all in my prayers.
