For many years as my wife and I passed by the Steep Hollow Cemetery on our way to church, we were always so impressed with how well the cemetery was being kept. As a former member of the Board of Directors for the Steep Hollow Cemetery Assn., I know of the many years of dedication and hard work that Johnnie gave to making sure the burial sites of our many family members always looked their best. For those many others that he cared so much about, he now has joined them but only until the day that God's trumpet sounds and we rise to meet Him in the air and we will be with Him forever(1 Thess. 4:13-18).
