My sympathy to the family of Johnny. Hard to believe-too young. Was such a sweet guy in school -we shared time together at Bruton- and yes-loved his dimples and smile always.
Hope he's at peace.

Prayers of comfort for Johnny's family. I knew him in high school. He always had that great smile, and gentle spirit. I cannot remember a time he wasn't smiling. May he rest in peace.
