Texarkana, AR Monday, August 24, 2020 I'm feeling alone for I have lost a good friend and I think of those days when I should have "stopped in". But lessons learned late aren't really much help when morning coffee is all by yourself.I miss conversations and a laugh now and then and nothing replaces a cup with a friend. His life here is over and his new life begins, we'll miss being with him but we'll see him again.
May he put in good words to the angels above for blessings down here for the ones that he loves. He will be remembered as days fly on by and I smile when I think of my friend in the sky.
God Bless and Keep you, Johnny! You fought the good fight!
