Dear Layne Family, I am so blessed to have had a sweet Uncle Johnny an Aunt Bobbie. I have always been told that Uncle Johnny had a lot to do with helping my parents (Lois and Roy) in choosing my name, Cynthia. This created a special bond between us. They both will be greatly missed by all. My prayers are with you all. God Bless. Your niece Cindy Cash- Gowen
