    My thoughts and prayers to Ron (Dawn) and all the Johnson Family. I grew up on 600 blk Colorado and remember her from when I was little. she was such a nice lady. Losing a mom is hard but know that she is reunited with your father again and together they will be watching over all of you. Rest in peace.

    You always let me pick strawberries when we came to visit even if they weren’t ready yet. I will always regret not calling more but I remember our last conversation, it’s hard to think that it’s been almost ten years since we talked. Prayers to our family as we deal with the loss of you, the creator of this huge, amazing, crazy family we have. I love you grandma sally
