To the Family of Martha Jean Johnson;
We are so very sorry for your loss. Even though we know that our Aunt Jean has passed away, it is still a shock to know that she is gone. She was a person who was always active. I think she liked to stay busy. Your mother, Jean, was a very kind and caring person, and I know she loved all of her family very much. I also know that she was always there for us if we needed her.
The memory of being there occasionally for Sunday breakfast at Jean and Ted’s home was, and still remains, very special to me. She would fix pancakes with warm, delicious homemade syrup to go on them.
I found a poem recently (author unknown) and I wanted to share it with you. The poem goes like this:
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Please know that even though we can’t be there right now, all of you are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
To the Johnson Family
We were saddened to hear of death of your mother. We have so many good memories of our trips to N.C. and visiting all of our family there. You are all in our prayers.
The family of Corbie Grindstaff
We will miss her so much. She was a blessing and always shared a word of encouragment for our family. She especially encouraged Chad and always showed him how much she cared about him. On Sunday mornings she always had a smile as she watched us as ‘new’ parents trying to make our kids mind. And she always had a laugh of rememberance when she saw they were getting the better of us. I could always look back at her in that moment and know she was thinking about what a blessing her children were to her as well. She watched quite a few kids that weren’t hers grow up and took care of them too! A great mother and sweet lady, we will miss her friendship. Our condolences, Chad and Donda Bennett
Paul we are praying for you and your family.
With love, Ronnie and Lisa Wilson
