Dear Johnson family...i am.so very glad that I got to have a short visit with Aunt Edith and Uncle Royce at their home just a couple of weeks before Uncle Royce had to go to the hospital. It was such a pleasure to sit on their porch and enjoy a few memories of the old days...when we were all young!

Mrs. Edith and all your families, we are so sorry for Mr. Johnson’s passing. Know that it is a sad moment in your lives, but also a rejoicing one too. Always loved seeing his smiling face, and the Rock of Strength that he was. Knowing that he passed on this same strength to all of you left here so that you can carry on until you meet again. What a Reunion Day that will be! Praise the Lord for allowing us to know Mr. Royce and your sweet families. Praying for all of you that the Lord’s presence will hover all of you and be comforted. We love you all.

Here is a man loved by many, and many he loved . Will miss him greatly, with all the laughs and conversations about a wide range of topics that we talked about. I never heard anyone say anything bad about him, just a great man that loved God and had a big heart.
