Hey Nanny, I know you already know, but Jacy passed away and had her service on Macy's birthday. I really am so sad Nanny. She was so young and she's had another baby a little boy named Cyrus James Johnson. You would have been so very proud of how much she loved him and Journey she was an excellent mom. I'm sure she'll tell you all about it. I need you Nanny! I feel broken down, I miss you so much. It's so hard. Life in general without you and Papa. But, I bet you were so excited to see her. I just wish I could have her back. But I am coming as soon as I get done here. Please don't give up on me cause i'm gonna come. I promised my sweet baby girl I would be there. I love you so very much. Audra
