Keep on trusting in the Lord, Praying strength for your entire family during this difficult time
How does one begin to share the sorrow of the passing of someone they gave known 70 years. Perhaps my memories shared with Johnny’s family will help soothe the pain of their, no, our loss!
Cousin Sarah and Johnnie lived on East Magnolia street in Leesburg, Florida when I was a child not even in school then. Then there was cousins Betty and Rosa and the older brothers who were part of a vast ring of cousins, Aunts and Uncles, all decedents of Wesley and Lela Mills of Bellwood, Alabama. They would make Leesburg home when Leesburg was centermost in the citrus industry. Always a people of deep faith, we attended the same Church of God in Christ there in Leesburg!
Praying for you. May God give you peace during this difficult time.
I am praying for your strength in a difficult time like this. Stand assured that God will see you through. May God bless and keep you, in Jesus name is my prayer.
I miss my father in law, the only one that loved me Unconditionally 💕 I’ll always miss you and the things you did for me and Nunu your last grandchild. I can hear you telling her, I won’t be here to see you graduate but go to school and finish and go to college and make something of yourself. You will always be in my heart ♥️ Loving you eternity!
