It was amazing being her caregiver almost a year. She touched so many lives and changed mine forever. Truly an angel who walked on earth. She is and will forever be missed. I’ll never forget the smile she had while reading her Bible stories and hearing her sing. We will meet again. ???? Thank you for the love and wisdom you showed me .
It is with the most sincere heartfelt sympathy what the staff of SYNERGY HomeCare offers our condolences. Thank you for the privilege and honor to care for Ms. Johnson. On behalf of our care TEAM, we offer our prayers and sympathies to her loving family.
Mrs. Johnson was a big influence in keeping me involved in the church. She was my 9th grade Bible class teacher at Trinity Lutheran Church in Cheyenne in 1969. After graduating from confirmation class in 8th grade, her bible class really helped me grow my faith. Because of her example, I went on to teach junior high and high school bible classes at Trinity Lutheran Church in Riverton WY for 40 years. I got a chance to thank her about 20 years ago when I visited Trinity in Cheyenne. Wecome home to heaven. See you there.
Mayetta was a very sweet, compassionate, loving, giving lady. It is so sad to hear of her passing. My condolences to her family.
Mayetta,
We’re sad for your passing but happy you can join your loved ones and get back to trout fishing. Don and Kathy loved you so much and you raised an awesome son in Don. I aspire to be like him every day. God bless you and God Speed.
