MeMaw Johnson was the kindest, gentlest soul ever. She always radiated love and her smile would light up a room ? she is so missed! I take comfort in knowing we will all be together one day in the Lord’s Kingdom. Prayers, love and light.
My Name I Donna Dillon And … I Just Wanted To Say That My Aunt Christine Will Truly Be Missed … I Will ALWAYS Remember This Beautiful Lady As One Of The Kindest , Most Caring , Loving Soul That I have EVER Met ! I Will NEVER Forget You Aunt Christine You Will FOREVER Live In My Heart . Always Your Loving Niece
Praying for peace to come quickly to the family. Mama’s are hard to lose no matter what age. So comforting to know she knew the savior, Jesus Christ. I’ll enjoy hearing her play her fiddle when we meet again. Who knows, her and my precious grandpa may be fiddling together.
Christine was a sweet lady. I always enjoyed her company. Her mind was very sharp. She dearly loved President Trump and was his biggest fan! She will be missed.
I really enjoyed our visits.
She would tell me stories of her and her husband playing different places.
I was honored to hear her play and was she good…
Will miss her..
