    What’s not to love about Johnny? Such a sweet guy. Our paper boy back in the day…….he remembers Mother inviting him in for a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day. Blessings to his siblings and you Rita. May wonderful memories of Johnny comfort you and knowing he’s dancing on streets of gold now bring you that peace that passes all understanding
