Condolences, thoughts and prayers to the Johnson family. She was a great lady. I spent a lot of fun time at the Johnsons when Amy and I were in school. It was like my second home. She will be missed.

We are so sorry for your loss. I’m sure you have many wonderful memories with this sweet lady. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Bob and Pat Whitling
To Amy, Bill, Becky and families, my sincerest condolences on the loss of your dear mother. A highlight of my visit to the “old neighborhood” 18 months ago was the afternoon spent with Gerry, remembering what had been a great friendship your parents shared with my parents. She recalled with great clarity details of their shared dinners, card games, and road trips. Your obituary details the warmth and caring that filled a life devoted to family, friends, and creatures of the world surrounding her home. She will be missed.

Please accept my condolences to your family. I hope that God’s promise of the resurrection brings you comfort during this very difficult time. (Acts 24:15)
