Praying for the whole Johnson family in your loss of Nate. I remember him being very fun and quirky and enjoying when he was around at uncle Drew´s apartment when we would visit Chicago as kids and Sandie & Drew got married. May God bring you comfort in this time of mourning and joy in knowing our eternal home is yet to be realized!
Love in Christ,
The Solorzano Family
(Sandie´s niece Kim, husband Oscar and kids Jonny, Mila, Anya)
