Mary Jo, Vern and Joey:
We have not stopped thinking of or praying for you since we heard about Johnny's passing. His friendship and support meant so much to Brandon and then to us after Brandon's passing. Bruce and Vicky cherished his regular check-ins and visits, and his strength in caring for others during those difficult times did not go unnoticed.
We know these days are not easy, but we hope the support and prayers of those around you help bring comfort. May God and your faith also bring you comfort and peace.
Love,
Jason and Candice Wolf
I have so many wonderful memories with Johnny from the more recent years. He was a blast to work with at Affordable Insurance, we never had a dull moment. Then to go play Bingo with, have "The Voice" nights and so many more laughs. He dedicated an entire week to Junior Auxiliary for us to have the yard sale at his church a few years back. I will always remember him for his witty comments, enduring smile and loving self. You will be missed!
Mrs. Mary Jo, Mr. Vern, and Joey: My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
With Love,
