Sue,
I’m so sorry to learn of Johnny’s passing. He was a good friend through the years and we had many laughs together, especially back in the softball days. He was such a talented musician and could pretty well do whatever he set his mind to do. He will be greatly missed. We’re thinking of you and praying for you ’cause we seldom saw him without you being close by. Keep the faith and know that Heaven is sweeter now, and we have another reason to go there!
