Dawn and Family,
I am deeply saddened at the news of Johnny's passing and I send my most sincere condolences. He was my first true friend in life and I always felt our paths would cross again. Now I will have to see him in heaven to laugh about the good times we had and catch up on all the rest. Gain strength from the fact that he was a good man who will continue to look over you from above.
