We were both from Georgia, by way of Tulane to here. You were the first Dr I met after moving here. You were the only man who ever called me "Boots", and I was always happy to see you. Thanks for all the patients you fixed and all the hours you spent trying to do it better. So long for now. I will definitely see you later.

Dr. Johnson when I would complain about all the pills I took would say " I'm keeping you alive aren't I" When I had to change Drs. I kept waiting for him to return, I missed him so much. He used to come and say" well Ruby Duby how are you doing.today" I'm still here at 89 . To his family I'm so sorry for your loss .

This goes out to Lisa ~ I am so sorry of your loss. You are such a sensative, caring, loving person that would do anything for anybody. I know how losing Stacey early in his life is really hard on you... just know that you have friends that are like family, that are there for you. I wish i was closer and I would hold you tight and have you know that things will be all right. Faith is very important and i know you have a stong Faith. Sometimes it is hard to do things on our own after traumatic happenings. Know you are loved and will be guided from above on anything that comes your way. I am here even though there are several miles between us and my thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.
~ Mike :-)
