In loving memory of a God-fearing, one of a kind and funny woman. She was a loving mother, grandmother and faithful to her church. I think the teacher in her caused her to love and care about all kids! I will truly miss her and her spirit! Rest now, Sis. Johnson and hope to see you again in the sweet by and by!

Rest In Peace and Power, Aunt Lois. You lived a life of passion and purpose. I appreciated the encouragement over the years across the miles. I will always cherish the names you selected for
me—Carmalita Marie. Funny thing is that to this day, people still think I am Spanish until they meet me and see a proud African American woman. You wanted to keep them guessing. (Smile)
