Aunt Johnnie I wanted to tell you I love you. Thank you and Cindy for loving and caring for uncle B in his last days . I love the picture reel what amazing memories. I pray the Lord gives you all peace at this time. The next few months will be hard. Lean on each other. Cry laugh do what you most. And of all there is no time love on grieving. I still have my days with mom and it’s been 5 years.
Dearest Johnnie and family
