A LETTER FROM HEAVEN
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not here to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right there in your heart ?.
Amanda Dobbs says
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead, and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. You and your family are in my heart and mind. I extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Miriam says
My prayer for strength to you and extended family

Grandma I miss you soo much. You were such an amazing woman and strong in so many ways. The love you had for your family and the love you showed to those who weren’t even your family is indescribable. You willingly gave all of yourself, everyday of your life. It’s so sad to not have you here everyday and see your warm smile, but to those who love you comfort has been found by the fact that you are no longer in pain. To such an amazing woman who will be missed dearly Grandma we love you to the sky and back. We promise to keep and eye on your family and protect them just as you have done.

Psalm 23:4, 6
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. … Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
May God keep and strengthen you and the family during yhis time of bereavement!!!!

I’m still in disbelief. I will truly miss Ms. Johnson. She was a really sweet and loving woman that wanted nothing but the best for her granddaughter Chinia and other children. Ms. Johnson was part of our PTO and enjoyed conversations with other parents/caregivers. I’ll always remember Ms. Johnson as a helicopter parent. Always involved and stayed on top of Chinia’s grades and progress. I met Ms. Johnson last school year when I first joined Technology High School. I grew a special love for Ms. Johnson during the little time that I knew her. I’ll forever cherish the precious memories I have of Ms. Johnson. She’ll be missed by many.
Kaprice Rowan says
My Prayers, love and deepest condolences are with you all. Stay strong and take care of each other. Love y’all.

I know you wouldn’t want to see my cry today, but you are the reason for my tears. I never met a person who was so filled with life. Thank you for everything you took me to some places that I never thought I would see did things with me that I never thought I would do , took me shopping at the mall.You where like a second mother to me. When things were tight you paid for me you where always here for me for what ever drama I had in my life. I know that today you are flying and now you will be at every baseball game. I’m going to miss that blue van sitting outside with you in it everyday after school. I love you so much and I never encountered a person that was as willing and giving as you are other then my mother . I love you and we will be ok because you are going to be making sure of it My black queen, my second mother.
Isaiah Battle says
It’s not a second of the day that goes by and I am not thinking about you. I wish this was a bad dream and someone can wake me up now. My hurt breaks each and every time I look at your pictures. I just want to see you again, hear your voice again , call me grandson again. This is a pain that i never experienced before, and I would not wish this on my worst enemy. My heart crumbles reminiscing on memories. Take me to the circus again, take me to Ny again, let’s ride around in Walmart in the carts again, I want to take your groceries up three flights of stairs, cook for me again, buy me food again, yell at me when I do something wrong again. Let’s go rock climbing again, let’s go to amusement parks again, let’s go to the movies again, let’s go to the mall again, let’s go to the batting cage again. Please just come back to us , it’s an empty space in me that chokes me up just thinking about it. Please please please come back somebody wake me up I had enough.

China says
Grandma, today is the day you gained your wings and became my guardian angel. Before you were my grandma you were my mom first. you showed me that there was more to life and you let me express myself through the craziest ways. I am truly going to miss our shopping sprees together, your cooking and just you screaming and yelling at me because I didn’t pick up after myself mommy I love you with all my heart. You didn’t get to see me graduate . I knew you fought as long as you could but I just wish you taught me how to bare life without you, you were there for everything and helped me get through it. On your last days I was there to give the same love back to you. thank you so much grandma. I’m going to miss you so much
Samiea Hawkins says
My deepest condolences to the family, especially Iesha… I know this is a difficult time but we must stay grounded knowing that Ms. Patricia no longer has to suffer and will forever live within your heart. No words or tangible items will replace a mother’s love, but never forget she is with you through it all. Remain strong and in prayer for God is the best of planners and will continue to guide and bless you and the family. Always loving you and am here for you!!!

Ms. Johnson,
I am going to miss our conversations and laughing in the main office at Technology High School. I will never forget your imitation of Chinia or when I tried to feed her healthy snacks in our advisory.
Thank you for being such an active, supportive member of the Panther family. You are such a loving and generous woman. The way you cared for your family and everyone in our school is admirable and will never be forgotten.
Please rest easy and know that our Panther family will take care of Chinia. I have been blessed to watch Chinia blossom into a beautiful young woman over these past three years. You did a fantastic job caring for her and I know she is going to make you proud.
My deepest condolences to all her family and friends. She was a phenomenal woman and will truly be missed!
Alice johnson says
I will always love you. We were only three years apart. But you made me laugh all of the time. I truly will miss you. Now I have five sisters. I am the oldest and you were next. I can’t believe you are gone. But I know that you are in heaven with your mother, father and Grandmother. Someday we will all be together in Heaven.
