Dearest Rick , Anne, Kathy and families, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. I remember what a sweet person she was when I had a chance to spend some time with her at her house on Wabank. No words can truly be of comfort at a time like this, but know she is with you now and will be with you always. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

You are always in my heart. I miss you very much!

Lance Johnson

Dear Kathy, Ann, Rick and Aunt Anna,

Your mother, and sister, was a beautiful person inside and out. She was always giving, caring and never said an unkind word to anyone. I sincerely hope that whatever she blessings she didn’t get in life, she will now receive (with interest)! May God bless her, and you and your families as well!
