Oh, Johnnie and Joy so sorry for your loss. Wishing the whole family peace and love during this difficult time. God needed to have a special angel beside him this holiday season to show how fragile life is. Seeing her husband and being together again at Christmas has to got to be a wish she has wanted for years now. Rejoice for her and with her. She is home now. What a celebration they will have together again!
Sending you love and hugs.
Many special memories of Rita & Al from our younger days. 🙏🏻
