Condolences to Maria and Rita on the loss of your mother — and to little Maria on the loss of her grandmother. May you find comfort in each other and the fond memories. — April Coleman

I will miss Ms. Johnson dearly. She has always been there to talk to and happily available after my Mom's passing. I will cherish our evening walks from long ago and viewing the Sunday paper ads (only after she viewed first 😀). Maria and family, she is at peace and with AJ and Junior now. We will see her again in Paradise. Prayers and well wishes to you and the family. Love Charmaine
