TO THE FAMILY.....Right now, when your loss is so fresh, it may be difficult for you to imagine that this pain will ever go away. But in time, the blessing of God's unfailing grace will soften the hurt that you're feeling and bring your heart the peace, comfort, and hope that it needs to heal. Until then, please remember there's a circle of friends surrounding you who are embracing you, and lifting you up in prayer. God Bless....

A very special woman in my life died yesterday. And, once again it was Acute Myeloid Leukemia which took her quickly and prematurely from us all. Johnnie was like a second mother to me growing up and was with my family almost every step of the way through our childhood. I loved Johnnie so much. And, Johnnie loved me, hugged me, made me peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day for years (not because she wanted to do that but because that is all I wanted to eat). Years later, after I had left home for college, Johnnie laughed with my Mom that every time she opened a peanut butter jar, she would get nauseous from the smell. LOL. "But, that Courts, she just loved her PB&J sandwiches." Cavoya, Buffy, Bernard, Mary and Frank are like our siblings and when they were young, they would come over to the house and play; my children and I visited Johnnie when we came home to Cincinnati and she treated them like her own grandchildren and let them run around her house chasing her Chihuahua; she called me "Courts" for 47 years; she was amazing and kind and loving and funny. And, she truly and deeply loved me, David, Tracy and Murray Monroe like we were her own. She loved Pepsi Cola and always had a stash of it hidden because we always tried to steal them and drink them. My Mom was a Coke drinker so they always had a funny dialogue between them about the better cola. She was truly one of my Mom's closest and dearest friends. She and her family are our family. I have very few memories from my childhood without Johnnie in them. She was there when I stuck a pussy willow seed up my nose and she was there to console me when I had my temper tantrums. There was not a day that I got off the school bus when Mom and Johnnie were not there to greet me and give me big hugs.....especially those days when my older brother left me on the bus (on purpose!!) and I came home crying and scared ;) Nice job, Mur- I was traumatized for life by my big brother. Johnnie was always there to make me feel safe and loved. It was like having two of the best Moms in the world right there together. I was so blessed. You will be missed, my dear Johnnie. I am flooded with memories of all the wonderful times we had together and how lucky I was to have you in my life. I know that Tracy, Murray, David and Mom feel the same. And, I know how much my Dad also loved you. Rest in Peace, sweet lady.

I did not know my aunt Johnnie Lee well until I was and adult. Then I realized we has so my ways and thoughts alike. I am so glad I got to know her and love her and laugh with her so many times. I am sure you all are sad about her going and so am I, but thank God she was a part of our lives, she was one in a million and I will remember her as a true blessing. My love and prayers are with you all. Love, Charlene Hamlin, High Point, NC
