Danny and Nancy: I will always remember the reunions at Alma's in June when we were kids! Everyone will be together again someday. I can still hear her saying, "Now Harry that's not how it happened!" And you too were the first ones I knew who called their parents by their first names and get away with it. I thought that was cool. God will take care of you in His Will!

Dear Dan and Nancy,
Our Moms are gone but their memories will always be with us and all the things they taught us. Maybe the "Johnson girls" are around a table with Mom Johnson having a good time. Stay strong. We love you and pray for you. Always Cousins!

Dear Danny and Nancy,
My deepest sympathies to you in the loss of Wanda. I have fond memories of visiting at your house in Columbus. Wanda was so much fun. It is so sad to think that all of Mom Johnson's girls are gone. Take care and God bless you both.

My thoughts and prayers are with you both at what I know is a very difficult time. I think back to all Wanda's craziness with Meme and Papa as I was growing up. She could ALWAYS make me laugh. And I know she meant so much to my Mom!
With love,
Amy Whalen (daughter of Rheta Whalen) and children Mira and Noah

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. She watched both of my oldest children when they were babies in the 80's. I enjoyed chatting with her when I picked up my kids. She was very kind and had a great sense of humor.

Danny & Nancy,
It has been so long since Mamma (Ruth) Hart passed away and it was so hard to realize your mom is the last of all those great sisters! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are so lucky to have had such a great heritage!

Wanda was one in a million. We were so blessed to find such a wonderful person to care for our daughter Paige when she was an infant.

Wanda was a dear sweet woman who took care of Annie when she was a baby. She was so thoughtful that even if your baby took its first steps in front of her, she would tell you to "watch, I think she's going to walk any time now". She didn't want you to feel like you missed any of your baby's milestones. She was funny and loving, we will miss her. Nancy and Dan, you had a great Mom.
