I work close to Rons Store and I witnessed on a daily basis the extreme love that Johnda and Ron had for each other. She often stopped by and brought him lunch which they shared for a few moments between the customers that were always coming in. They acted like best friends. They traveled together and enjoyed sports together. And most of all, they loved their children together and were so proud of each one.
I always liked going to Glenns Sporting Goods when she was there. I often quizzed her on the new items that were coming in so I could get in on the new MU Green. She was the kind of employee that you are lucky to have and only had great things to say about the store and merchandise.
Ron told me that she was excited about her new job at the court house and was really going to love the hours, especially now that she was going to be a Grandma. (Ron said he knew he would be moved to second place after the baby came).
She always called or stopped by Rons Store to see if there was anything she could help him with before she went home. He said she was always cooking dinner now when he got home and that was something she had not been able to do with the hours she worked with her previous job. She really was a great wife, and wonderful mother and just a good person all around, and I witnessed that daily; but I also heard it from someone who knew her and loved her most ...her always loving husband, Ron.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of one of the Gartrell Hill Girls. Johnda and I went from 1st grade on together in school. So sweet, so special, so kind--a true loss. My sincere sympathies.

Words of encouragement seem to be weak and insufficient at a time like this... and only God knows why these things happen the way they do but He will provide the strength you need to get through it all. Jess- that baby will be your strength. Promise you that. Praying for the whole family.

Jess, Josh, Miles and family,
I am so sorry for the sudden loss of such an incredible woman. I am honored I got to work with her so closely the last few weeks. She will be missed greatly. One thing I know about her is how PROUD she was of her family and how much she loved them! Please always remember that. Many many prayers of strength, peace and healing during this very difficult time.
