My heart breaks knowing of Johnny’s passing, it seems like yesterday I could hear him yelling down a hallway on a construction site, trying to get my attention. He always made me laugh, with his grumpiness. He had a way about him, you either loved him or hated him. But for me it was love, he was kind, generous man, willing to help you if needed. He was a good man, and he loved his family. I believe Donna was his soul mate, she is a good person like him. I witnessed them together, as others did, they belonged together. I can’t imagine her grief, in time it will lessen. But in the meantime, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers to give you and your family strength, love, endurance. So that you may move forward, knowing that you will see him again.
All my love to you Donna, he was a true friend as you are…..
