She could not have been a better wife to John. She loved him and spoiled him. Because of their love for each other and our family we were blessed with so many beach trips, birthday dinners, holidays together and spur of the moment get togethers just because we all loved to be together. She also could not have been a better mother, grandmother and mother-in-law. Her grandchildren adored her.
To Dorothy Johnson, your care and love for our parents is a gift from God.
