We are going to miss you but you can bet when I think of you I will smile real big because that's what you did. Love Sissie

Dear Johnny
I lost a huge piece of my heart when I lost you. You always knew what to say to bring me back up when I was sinking in the quicksand. Thank you for always being the best friend that I could have asked for. Your bright and bubbly personality is a inspiration to me as well as to everyone else. I'll miss you more then anything, but you'll always be with me in my heart. Make sure you wait for me. I love you Mary You always were the Mary and you knew it.

To Helen & Butch,
When life's tragedies seem so unfair, God's promise is that he will never forget us nor leave us. Lean on Him and His strength. He loves us. Remember, He gave up His Son for us. Christ is always near to comfort, protect, guide, encourage, strengthen, and help us. "I am with you always, even to the end of the age" Matthew 28:20. You are in my prayers. In Christian Love,

Aunt Helen, Uncle Butch and Jason,
I'm so sorry for what has happened. You guys are family to us please know we are here for anything you need. Johnny and Jason were like brothers to Staci and I as we were growing up. I have reflected alot on the past years spent with you guys and have so many happy and funny memories. I will always remember Johnny's laugh his whole body was affected by his laugh, his eyes would water and you couldnt help but laugh with him. I remember Johnny and Jason taking up for us and watching out for us like little sisters. One time at ya'lls house we were all 4 at the dinner table eating Tuna Fish sandwiches and being the picky eater Staci and I were we werent about to eat Tuna Fish so Johnny and Jason ended our whinning fit by whispering here put your food in your napkin and we passed it down the table for one of the boys to throw away. Your family really helped us at a very hard time and that is how our family grew into one because of your kindness and genuine care for our well being. Staci and I still remember Aunt Helen taking us to our first day of school in 1st grade and how she packed us a lunch. We were so excited to have a sack lunch!These memories are what I will hold forever in my heart and remember Johnny by. I find comfort in the fact that Johnny is no longer hurting and having to survive in this often mean world. He is finally free and he is Experiencing God's plan for us. I Pray the Lord wrap his love around you all and heals you of all your sarrow.
Sleep with Angels Johnny we will forever remember and love you....
With much love,
Stephany Marie Ashcraft & Family

As is think back over my past, I have many good and fun memories that include Johnny. I remember staying up late at night just goofing off and talking about nothing in particular. Lots of time laughing and joking. Johnny made the best fetticini. I never could make it as good as he could. I feel blessed to be a part of this family and Johnny's short life. My love and prayers go to everyone. I am sorry I can't be with you in person, but I am with you in thoughts and prayers. I love you all. Vicky and family

Dear Johnny,
I can't believe you are gone. I am going to miss you terribly. I will always remember the times we laughed until we cried. I will remember you for all of your wonderful charm. I remember when you were the ring bearer in my wedding. You were adorable! I remember you and your pets from the dogs, cats, iguanas, oscars, and your friend Bandit the ferret. I loved it when you and the family lived with Granny and my family on Bertha Ln. My children have so many good memories of that time with you and Jason. I remember when you got old enough to drive. I remember your first car- the purple truck. I remember when you had a wreck in the purple truck. Then, there was the mustang. To this day I can't see a red mustang and not think of you. I remember how you made me laugh when you played Nintendo. Remember how we loved to watch the talk shows on TV? We would laugh about how parts of our family could be on one of those shows. I remember how you loved to cook. I still have your hand written copy of your Fettuchini recipie. I remember once when we went to Albertson's and there was a display with a pig and you started gagging and laughing at the same time. I thought they were going to have to roll us out of the store. I will never be able to eat at Taco Bueno without thinking of you and how you liked the potato burritos. I remember coming to see you in Colorado. Lately we talked about me taking a vacation to Florida to come see you. I wanted to take that vacation so bad. I wish I could have answered the phone every time you called and I am sorry I didn't.
I have many fond memories- too many to count- but my fondest memory will be your shining smile and sparkling eyes.
I love you so much,
Aunt Marva
