Russell was the most friendly jovial happy kind and honest uncle anyone ever had. I know he is with the Lord Jesus today still making others happy. I look forward to seeing him again someday.

I have known Pastor Russell Johnson for a very long time -- he was my stepfather and very well respected. He will be truly missed by all of us, and I am eternally grateful to God that HE sent Russell into my mother's life and surrounded her with love and companionship. My mother, Pastor Ann Johnson, and us, Leon, Rubye,Voncele and the entire family will miss his presence and His wonderful smile. He was very intellectual and loved reading. I enjoyed our great conversations about Theology, since he knew that I was in school for my Master's Degree. I loved to hear him preach and expound in the study of God's Word. Sitting and talking with him about JESUS, family and sometimes politics, was indeed a joy! He had a beautiful smile and a humble spirit. Today, I count it all JOY that I was able to be in his life to know him and see how much he loved my mother. Russell was indeed a "hands on" person, with a great smile and always trying to help others. I thank God for a warm,kind and gentle soul who was sometimes very quiet, but yet very funny! Our hearts are heavy, but the memories, conversations and advice that he shared with all of us will never be forgotten! I thank him for the way he surrounded my mother with his love and companionship; and I will never forget how much she loved him also. Yes, there is going to be a void, but GOD will heal these open wounds and we REJOICE in his homegoing to be with our Lord and Savior, JESUS the Christ. WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS, MOM, LEON,RUBYE,VONCELE and the entire family. Thank you God that he is no longer in suffering as you, LORD, have called you home to sleep until we meet again. The grandchildren and great grandchildren will miss you greatly! (Written by Elder Rubye Armorer (daughter) & THE FAMILY)

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
