Uncle Johnny...I remember when you bought a motorcycle & I always wanted to ride with you. Granny was scared for you to be riding & sure didn't want me on the back, but you always talked her into letting me go. Thank you for that!!! Now, I ride my own & I love it. Yes, I'm careful....by the way! There's an unexplainable feeling of freedom on that darn thing & it always helps me clear my mind. I think of you often when I ride....your smile, your laugh, and of happy times from long ago. I think of Rachel, too. I know without a doubt that she would've loved to ride one, too! Remember that bicycle she had that looked like a motorcycle? She tore up the yard on that thing....ALL DAY LONG! I miss y'all so much, but I know you're both in Heaven with Jesus, Granny, Girlie & Hugh so y'all are in good hands. I called Aunt Connie this morning & she's ok. I miss seeing her since I moved to SC, but we keep in touch. She's a good one! I love you Johnny & I will see you again soon. Until we meet again....

ALWAYS ON MY MIND 

FOREVER IN MY HEART

Love Always, 

Tara

  I MISS YOU JOHNNY!!!!  LOVE,TERESSA     

Johnny was babysitting Amanda and Denver one day and fell asleep. When we got home Denver was on the couch snubbing and he'd sent Amanda to Donna's house for her or Teressa to deal with. Johnny was ranting and raving and when we walked into the kitchen, it was obvious why! Denver and Amanda had flour, cornmeal, eggs, milk....you name, they had it all poured out on the table and onto the floor! I guess they were fixing gravy and biscuits! LOL   They hadn't stopped there though. The bathroom was a complete wreck, too! Every bottle of shampoo, conditioner, household cleaners, etc. was poured together in the tub! Its a wonder they hadn't blown the house up!!! Johnny found absolutely NO humor in their deeds at all at the time, but its a story he laughed about for years after! I loved to hear him laugh, and he laughed alot!!!

Johnny was one of the best .persons you good ever meet.He loved his friends and family dearly.He was a very hard worker but in his spare time he enjoyed cooking for family and friends.He loved his grandkids and cherished the times he got to spend with them.his brother was his best friend .he enjoyed just staying home and working in the yard and helping anyone he could. Johnny you are so missed and always in our hearts.
