Johnny was one of the sweetest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing! There's no doubt he rests with our Lord in Heaven, and I will continue to thank the Lord that Johnny left us an equally sweet fella to love, named John!
Johnny will be missed terribly, he was like my own family! I'm very proud to have known him.
My deepest sympathy goes out to his children, grandchildren, and all his family members!
I love you John, Lydia, and Riley!
Love, Sandra Rainey (sister to Lydia & John)

I am so sorry for the lost of your love one. To the Sutherland children, I knew both your Mom and dad. Mary was my best friend. Both my husband and your dad were from Abbeville. I lost my husband last year. You had good parents, one of the best. Just lean on Jesus, and he will see you through. God bless you all and your spouses and the whole family.
