December 15, 2020, was one of the darkest days in history of our family.
At 4:50 pm I received the chilling and heartbreaking news that our Sister Nellie had passed to glory peacefully. She has gone on that journey from whence no traveler has yet return. She has gone from among us forever.
But we can rest with the assurance that she will not cross Jordan alone. There will be someone waiting to show her the way.
I wish to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to friends and family for your out pouring words of sympathy and up- lift ment during this extremely difficult time which has shaken the very core of our faith. However through prayers, we will remain strong and resolute as a family to carry on her Legacy. May her soul Rest In Peace for the rest of eternity. We love you and will miss you dearly.

Your brother,
Frederick M. Johnson Jr (Junior)

Words can’t express the emptiness you have left in our hearts from the good times shared from Bomi Hills to Providence and the sad times. We made it thru as a family. You were the Historian.

Dearest Richardson Family,

For the past week, you have been in our thoughts and prayers daily. We know Mrs. Richardson was a loving grandmother, and a symbol of strength for our dearest sister, Lantega Richardson. We will remember her life and cherish the stories about Mrs. Richardson that we've learned about from Lantega. We know she was kind, loving, and gentle. We know that she did everything she could to make sure her family was well protected and loved. On this day, we know Mrs. Richardson is with her daughter in heaven. We vow to keep Mrs. Richardson's memory alive and well.

To our dearest sister Lantega, we love you and we stand with you today and always. You will never be alone. You are always loved and cherished. When you grief, we grief. When you cry, we cry. And today, like every day, we will stand with you and your family during this difficult time.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted,"
-Matthew 5:4
