Rebecca Ann Johnson “Nanny”
Our beloved mother, it has been one year since God called you home to rest.
This has been one of the most trying periods of our lives, because we became motherless (only in a sense). Sometime it was hard just to say these words “my mom passed away” to someone who didn’t know of your passing. But God in his infinite wisdom step right in and has continued to give us the strength to carry on. We would like to say thank you for supplying us with some special tools to cultivate our lives while we journey here on earth without your physical presence; Patience, Respect, Forgiveness, Generosity, Gratefulness, Peace, Happiness and most of all Love. Daily we strive to utilize these tool to the best our ability as you once did with so much dignity. Mother we know you are rejoicing in heaven with so many of your loved ones, but we still feels your present here. We can still hear your voice and guidance and see your face in our dreams. Mother you will Forever be in our Hearts, Love your Children, Larry, Diana, James, Johnny, Cheryl, Robin, Grand and Great-grand Children. To our extended families, The Glovers, The Woodalls, our church family and most loyal friends we would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and support that you all have bestowed upon us this past year. Thank you all for lessening the pain, most grateful The Family of Rebecca Ann Johnson “Nanny”

We went to the grave site for your headstone to see....Yes, My Nana, Brothers, Sisters and Me....

We walked left, we walked right, trying to remember the very site.
It really had me getting a little up tight.

We called and texted Robin on her cell phone, only to find the voice mail coming on.

I would not give up, as you and my Mother taught us to fight, I did not care if it was late, and looking close to the night.

I said to Becky, please, can you call Robin again, and I turned with the sound of the little wind.

I looked at the sky, then back to the ground, and guess what it was YOU, it was YOU, that I found.

Love, The Richardson Families

HAPPY EASTER...

JESUS said...
I AM THE RESURRECTION, AND THE LIFE.
HE THAT BELIEVETH IN ME, THOUGH
HE WERE DEAD,
YET SHALL HE LIVE!

We thought of you today,
but this is nothing new.

We thought of you yesterday,
and the days before that too.

We think of you in silence,
and often speak your name.

All we have now is memories,
and you in a picture frame.

It broke our hearts to loose you,
but you did not go alone.

A part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

Love, Richard, Candy, Fran, Dwyane, and Becky The Richardson Family

To the Johnson Family,

I have known you all for 32 years and one thing that has been constant is your undying love for all who know you. It all started with Miss Rebecca and filtered down to all of you. There were 2 occasions in my life when Miss Rebecca was there for me when I needed to be consoled and the Lord put her in that place both times. I didn’t know how much I needed her in those moments, but years later I realized that the Lord sent her to comfort and console me. He knew that she would say the right words to comfort me because she had experienced what I was going through. That’s who she was, a woman who helped and comforted anyone who came her way, fed anyone who was hungry and always made you laugh. As a teenager, her house was the place to be to have a good time. Her home was a safe haven for so many because she was also your parent when you were at her home. Miss Rebecca will be missed dearly by so many but I will always remember the great times that I have been blessed to have experienced with her and all of you. I know this is a great loss but the good thing is that she is no longer suffering, and she’s no longer in pain. She’s in heaven with her siblings & her mother having a grand time. She is free and the beautiful thing is that one day we all will see her again and I know she’ll welcome us in heaven with so much love like she welcomed us here on earth.

To Larry, Diane, James Louis, Johnny, Faye and Robin, I want to thank you all for sharing your mother’s love unconditionally with me and my family.

God bless you and I love you,

Donna Edwards Crockett

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of My Nanny are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of My Nanny that are the most precious.

To My Family,
Out of all the things I've ever had to do in my life, this by FAR is the HARDEST bite to swallow..."God is the Joy and the Strength of My LIFE He moves all pain Misery and Strife, he promised to keep me never to leave me, And He's NEVER NEVER come short of His Worth" I constantly remind myself that GOD is to wise to ever make a mistake and though I don't always understand His Will and even sometimes find myself wanting to question it I jus rremeber that He said that He'd Never leave me or Forsake me and that he'd NEVER put more on me than I can Bare.

My Nanny was My Rock she was always there for me and she was a Natural Born Diva she did what she had to do for her children Grandchildren and even her GreatGrands. We all had our own personal relationship with her and she molded us to be jus the way she wanted us. I pray everyday that God keeps us together as the family that she encouraged us to be.

To my Aunts and Uncles Robin, Faye, and Ma(Diane),Larry, and James I love you all more than you'll ever know. Daddy(Johnny) You are about to start a new life with a women that loves you enough to take your last name and I pray that you show her threw the things you do for her the type of man Nanny raised you to be.

To all my My Cuzns, Dina, Tia, Marcus, James, Michael, Brit, Denzel, Nikki, Marjie, Shaun, and Tiff we may not see each other or a daily basis but yall all know dat Im here for you I may be moving away to start a new life but I'm only a phone call and 2hrs away if u need me I'm there.

My sister Tasha, I know that we both have had our differences but each other is all we have and Nanny has brought that to our attention many of times, We can do this we can make it we gota be strong and continue to work through this together Im here for you, you are my sister my strength and my Pride.

Steph...Like i told you that Friday nite "If you dont understand anything, know that you've been set up by God to Be Blessed, understand that's it's gota work this way, understand that God know's what you need before you even need" I know that this has taken alot out of you but remember you have to take care of "Her Kids" because that's what she told you to do.

See My Nanny was the type of women who would take anybody in no matter the situation she was a women who loved God and her Family more than anything and she use to always tell us, even though some of us didn't quite understand what she was saying until later on in life, that no matter how hard we trid to explain the bond that The Johnson Family had, that nobody would understand...And lets jus say she was right...lol...But for those who didn't understand jus the type of family we are I'm sure they can see now that go strongly believe that "A Family That Prays Together Will Stay Together".

I LOVE MY NANNY DEARLY AND THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT HER OR WANT TO SEE HER OR EVEN TALK TO HER AND IT BREAKS MY HEART EVERYTIME I REALIZE THAT SHE'S NOT THERE IN PERSON, BUT WORDS CAN'T EXPLAIN THE JOY IT BRINGS ME TO KNOW THAT SHE'S GRADUATED TO GLORY AND THE ARE NO MORE WORRIES FOR HER, NO PAIN, NO NEEDLES, NO OXYGEN CORDS NUN OF THAT. Also he tells us that He ONLY TAKES THE BEST, and that's jus what My nanny was The Best Mother, Grandmother, GreatGrand Mother Sister, Aunt, Cousin, Niece and Friend.

We all will miss her and We all LOVED her but GOD Loved Her Best. Rest on my Sweet Nanny and I'll see you soon. Your Bogger :-}

I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERY BODY FOR THEIR OVER WHELMING PATIENCE, PRAYERS, SUPPORT, WORDS OF WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING AND COMFORT, CONTRIBUTIONS, AND KINDNESS. MY FAMILY AND I, ARE TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH A SUPPORTIVE NETWORK OF FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS. WORDS CAN'T SAY ENOUGH OF HOW WE, ESPECIALLY MYSELF HOW WE APPRECIATE AND COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS ALONE WITHOUT ALL OF YOU. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I SPOKE OR HELD A LENGTHY CONVERSATION WITH ONE OF YOU, BUT LATER DIDN'T REMEMBER, BUT YOU UNDERSTOOD AND GAVE ME A HUG OF FORGIVENESS. FOR THAT I SAY THANK YOU. I WAS TOLD OF THE HUNDREDS OF FAMILY, FRIEND, CO-WORKER, ETC. THAT CAME TO GIVE SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THESE PAST WEEKS. SOME I REMEMBER, AND SOME I COULDN'T, BUT THROUGH IT ALL THE LOVE WAS FELT.MY NANNY LEFT A LEGACY OF LOVE AND AFFECTION. WE THE FAMILY IS DEDICATED TO CONTINUE THAT LEGACY. I WANTED TO SEND OUT INDIVIDUAL THANK YOU CARDS, BUT WAS AFRAID I WOULD MISS SOMEONE. WE DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYBODY. SO WE THOUGHT OF ALTERNATIVE WAYS THAT COULD TO SPREAD OUR THANKS. SO PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AND LOOK FOR A THANK YOU NOTICE IN THE NEAR FUTURE IN THE OBITUARY SECTION OF THE ST PETE TIMES NEWSPAPER, AND LISTEN OUT ON WRXB RADIO STATION. AGAIN THANK YOU ALL SO SO VERY MUCH.

PERHAPS YOU SENT UP A PRAYER FOR STRENGTH OR MAYBE YOU BROUGHT SOME FOOD FOR OUR NOURISHMENT, OR SENT A FLORAL ARRANGE IN REMEMBRANCE OF MY GRAND~MOTHER. PERHAPS YOU EVEN SPOKE A FEW WORDS TO CONSOLE OUR HEARTS OR PLAYED A LESSER PART. PERHAPS YOU HELPED US LAUGH OR EVEN CRACK A SMILE OR YOU JUST CAME AND SET AWHILE. WHATEVER YOU DID, WE THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR GOING THAT EXTRA MILE. PLEASE CONTINUE TO KEEP THE FAMILY OF REBECCA "NANNY" JOHNSON LIFTED UP IN PRAYER BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY!
"THE JOHNSONS"

WITH ALL MY LOVE, VANTE'(Bogger)

Message: Diana,
What a beautiful message, just a beautiful as all of you. I am so happy that I
had the opportunity to meet you guys so early in life, and to learn the same
values, together. The Johnson's are a true meaning of Family, the essence that
helps define your identity, I truly believed that your mother cherished every
moment in life, and she was the rich from soil from which all of you grow,
continue to nourish from her roots. We all will never loose the LOVE that she
placed in our hearts, we all will always hurt for the LOVE of her that is in our
hearts. Love you dearly, thanks to all of you for always being there for me,
and with me. Love you,

To my family,
First to my Sisters and Brothers Larry, James, Johnny, Cheryl (Faye), and Robin. Mama gave us life at no charge and no one could have been given a better Mother than Ours. What a great woman!!!
My Children, Grand Children, Nephews, Nieces Uncles, Aunts and Cousins,

On July 30, 2007 God decided that "Nanny" our Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Auntie, and Friend had grown tired and weary and being the God that he is, he kept his promise. He had gone and prepared a place for her and when he finished her room he came back to take her home. She fought a good fight and she finished her race. But most importantly she left a Legacy of Love to us and for us to carry on. What we all should remember is that we were loved, and loved unconditionally. She never asked for much yet she gave so much and always from her heart. The best gift that Mama gave to each of us was HERSELF. We each had our own unique relationship with her, as many of us as it is our walk with Mama was individual and personalized. She knew our strengths and weaknesses and how to handle each one. We didn't always agree with her but Lord knows it never stopped her from saying exactly what was on her mind. My prayer for our family is that we to can start to live our lives as Mama did. We must continue to hold fast to God's hand and always keep a song and a smile in our hearts because that's where "Nanny" and "Mama" lives now. I Love All of you and though it is hard right now I know she is still watching over us from heaven
Although we loved her deeply,
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands were put to rest
God broke our hearts a second time To prove He only takes the best.

I Love You Family, My Family Mama's Family

Rebecca ( AKA Betty ) Thank you so much for taking me into your Home at the age of 16 years old, along with your Six Children... Adopting me into the Family, as one of yours until I was able to leave the nest... My Prayers go out to Dianne, Faye, Robin and the Boys ... because I know what it is truly like to loose a Mother, because My Mother Passed away at the young age of 29 years old, and now in 2007, she has gone home to be with the Lord for 43 years in the Rose Garden... I know that her Spirit is watching over me daily and my Siblings, as it will be with Rebecca Sweet Sweet Spirit looking over her Sons and Daughters, the Grands and the Great- Grands... It is well with the Lord.
Be Blessed of the Lord,
Sister Denise Wright

My deepest sympathy to Jovante & family, I would like to say that even though I never met your Nanny in person I feel as if I knew her personally, just to have met Jovante and see his kind heart and his happy personality, that alone tells me how great of a woman she was, and how strong was her love.
God Bless you and your family.

To My Family With Love,
I never knew how blessed I was until someone else told me about their childhood,the very next day I went to Nanny and knelt before her and thanked her for everything. Because of the kind of woman, mother, daughter, sister and friend she was I'm able to be the woman, mother, daughter, sister, and friend that I am. Nanny taught us and showed us the power of a mother's love. Her love was unconditional. I often tell people that I have some of the best DNA that GOD ever created, I know I do because Rebecca Johnson is my Nanny.

Words can not express the sincere sorrow I feel for the family at this time in your lives. Your beloved "Nanny" as so many called her is no longer with you in the flesh, but I know in my heart of hearts she is looking upon each of you with love and an endearing smile. Know that I, and many others, still pray for each of you and will continue to do so long after this day has gone and another one rolls into existence. Always remember God is your strength and joy. Look to Him and He will enable you to put one foot in front of the other each and every day.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Miss Johnson was a very nice lady and will be missed by friends and family. Although I knew her briefly, she always had a smile for me when I saw her, and she was kind enough to even make breakfast for me sometimes when daughter Cheryl worked morning shifts for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays Box Office. A great lady who left a wonderful impression.

The joy of the Lord is your strength. For earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal. God's word is true, and He is faithful. His word states, "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.(Matt 5:4), With each passing day your pain will grow weaker. You will be able to focus on the laughs, joys, good times, priceless memories and lessons she shared with you. She raised you close and that's how she expects you all to remain, close to one another and even closer to God. May God bless and keep you all.

The Richardson Family would like to express it's deepest sympathy to The Johnson Family.
Your Mother's love was special, in Oh, so many ways.
She was there to help, and guide you thru out the comming days.
She was sad when you were crying, and happy when you laughed.
You could count on her thru think and thin, a freindship that will never end.
Just think of all we have gained, at the easing of her pain.
Her warmth, understanding and tenderness to give,
What she shared in us, she will continue to live.

We loved her, but god loved her more. He gave us this beautiful angel and didn't want her to suffer anymore so he whisper in her ear and told her to come home. Keep your head Johnson family. God wouldn't put any more on us than we could bare.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am deeply sadden about death of this wonderful woman. I am sad for her children and all of her granchildren. More specifically, I am sad for my best friend, "Nanna's" granddaughter Shaunta who introduce me to the family and allowed me to witness this woman love and be loved. To God Be the Glory- because I have this memory to carry me throughout a lifetime. To all of the family, I pray the memories will sustain and keep you all during this time of bereavement and then after.
To "Nanna" (the only name I've ever heard addressed to Ms. Rebecca Ann Johnson)up in heaven, i want you to know i remember every private conversation and I listened. But you know HE is still working on me (smile). Peaceful Rest.
