My deepest sympathy is extended to the family of Archie Johnson. I've known Archie from a child. I taught him in elementary school and he was in the last graduating class of Burt High where my husband, T. G. White was principal. He took good care of our cars for many years, always courteous, kind and loving. May God give you the comfort you need at this time.

Success in life is measured by the influence you leave on others."Did you make someone laugh in their time of sorrow?"Did you say a kind word to someone?"Did you keep a smile on your face even though life at times was painful? Archie lived a good life. Now,it's his turn to be comforted by the love of God. Archie,rest on my brother,rest on. We love and will miss you.
