Johnny! Thanks sooo much for being such a big part of my life, You helped me a lot. You had a different way of looking at thinga that made me pause and think, and laugh. You will not be forgotten. I'm tryin to ba a part of a pleasant day like you always talked about. And I am learning that world is actually pretty kind to me.....if I want to see it that way, like you alway said. Would love to get inside your head and understand why you never threw anything away or put anything away...I dont believe it had anything to do with laziness. Guess thats a conversation we'll save for the next lifetime. How are those new wings of yours? Is the wind just right? You are irreplaceable and one in a million...ya. Love you Johnny. See ya in a while.
