Betty, I am so sorry for your loss. I never knew your father, but based on what others have said about him, it sounds like he was a wonderful person. May God comfort you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Wilma,and children, I always read the obituaries every day in the state paper. I was so sorry to read Oyd's. He lived a good and long life. He was my source of Johnson history. He was one of my favorite Grand-cousins. We spent many Sunday afternoons at Grandpa Johnson's when Uncle Willis and Aunt Argie came to visit. May God be with you and your family. Love to all
Barbara Darlene Johnson Hunt.

Dear Aunt Wilma, Eddie, Betty, Shelly, Carolyn and the entire family,
Your husband and dad, my uncle Oyd, was a blessing to my life. I thank God for his life, his example, his testimony and love for God. It was always a pleasure to be around him and your entire family.
Remember his absence among us today means his presence with the Lord as His dear child! One day soon, we will see Him again when he comes with the Lord.
I will be praying for you in this time and hoping to be at the services to pay my respect.
I love you all,
Chris
