Dear Johnson Family,
Your Mother was a special resident while at Metron. I enjoyed our different talks we had & will miss all the evening card games that she had with her family & friends......Of course, she always said "she won EVERY game" So nice to see all those that loved & supported her. She is missed but I know she is very happy right where she is at :) Kind regards, heather & steve turnbull.

Bro and Sis Johnson will be greatly missed until we meet again in Heaven at the marriage supper of the Lamb. The Johnsons were my pastors when I was young and I had the upmost confidence in them. I loved them dearly. Praise God I know where they both went. May God be with the family in this time of loss.

Dear Johnson Family,
We have been praying for your Mother and for all of you during her illness, here at the Decatur, IL PHC. So sorry to hear of your loss but oh the joy to know where she is now, there will be no more pain and suffering.
May God Bless and keep you surrounded in His open arms.
I served many meals at the different Pilgrim Camps with your Mother, we always had a good time talking together in the dining hall.
I'll continue to keep you in my prayers.

Heaven has been enriched by the arrival of another saint of God! She was always an encouragement to us and an example of the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have been blessed to know her for the last 50 years!
