Johnny, I have an especially fond memory of you when I was a senior and you were in the ninth grade and we shared ARKANSAS history with Mrs. Fox together. I fondly recall that to my family whenever your name comes up. May God Bless you and keep you in his loving arms as he presents you to your family that has prepared a place. For you and waited for you to come home
