Love Lives On


Those we love
are never really lost to us -
we feel them
in so many special ways-
through friends
they always cared about
and dreams they left behind,
in beauty that they added to our days...
in words of wisdom we still carry with us
and memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.

With our deepest sympathy to your family during these times of grief. I haven't seen you since our boys played football with South Columbus Raiders. You was strong then & I encourage you to be strong now, you have to lean on that ROCK that will never give away. God won't put no more on us then we can bare.

I know it's a bit late but I just found out and am shocked. I didn't know him very well in high school but what I did know was that I always heard good things about him and was blessed to have seen that infamous smile. I hope that God brings your family comfort and strength.

Yolanda and Johnnie, my prayers are with you. Remember, God is our strength in the time of a storm. There are things that happen in life and sometime we don't understand, yet God knows best. No matter how long the storm may last or the rain may fall, the sun will eventually shine. Beacuse of God' unconditional love for you and your son, He promised to be with you and to strengthen you. As God strength you, give Him thanks, reflect on His goodness and the beautiful memories of your son. To God Be The Glory.

May these words comfort you - Psalm 23
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.


Be encouraged in the Lord,

My prayers are with the family in your time of need. God will see you through, earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal. I remember Johnnie from the South Columbus Boys club many years ago, he was such a respectful young man who always was going the extra mile to achieve whatever it was that he was trying to. He willbe truly missed, we live in the same community and I would see him walk up and down through the neighborhood, mingling with his friends. To the family be encouraged and know that God has it all in control.
