I just received information regarding Johnathan's untimely death. It is hard to believe that someone who I have known since I was a young girl is no longer here. Johnathan will always be remembered as a gentle giant. It has been many years since I have seen Johnathan and I did not have a chance to see the man that he became but as God has promised....We shall see each other again. Love You Johnathan

Although Bobby was only my uncle by marriage, he was my uncle by "heart". I will miss him, and I envy him because he is seeing everyone that has gone on before us. And right this very minute he is seeing Jesus face to face. How awesome...
