I loved this man with all my heart. Always appearing as a mean grump to many but to me he was respected and loved and I am so sorry that I didn't take the time to tell him after divorcing Brad, how much I really cared for him. After being a part of his family for so many years it was hard to get a grip on the fact that I was no longer allowed to communicate with him. It just isn't acceptable. I care for all of those that used to be my family even though I am no longer married to Brad. My love is genuine and I will take this time to tell everyone, especially Johnny....I love and miss yall dearly and hope you find comfort in the fact that he no longer suffers. You know he is giving GOD a tough job as he entered those gates cussing like only he could do. I love you! I respect you! You are missed!

Johnny was a sweet, funny man who I will miss. He and Cousin Nan made a good pair since nothing he said could upset her...and she took such good care of him when he would let her.
