“My Parents!"
In remembrance of my Mother, Susie Ethel Johnson, September 4, 1895 – October 12, 1992, and my Father, Benjamin Franklin Johnson.
My Mother was 97 years old when she passed away. She lived alone, played Cripple Creek on her banjo, had a large garden, porch swing and a parakeet named JJ. She would gather everybody around and tell us great stories.
I learned so much about Love and life from her. I miss the good ole days of her food, banjo music, playing outside in our yard, garden and climbing apple trees. Her method of travel was riding a horse.
She really knew how to make you feel Loved!
She said sometimes she was homesick for Heaven because she had lived through wars and outlived her parents, all eleven of her siblings, and several of her eight children.
She and my Father, Benjamin Franklin Johnson, were very strong influences and role models in my life. They will always be Loved and remembered.
Do you have fond memories of your parents and grandparents?
2 Timothy 3:14-15
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
