Leave a tribute for Carolyn Johnson.
Momma: I meant what I said at your service that you loved seafood especially perch and now you can have all you want and it won't cost you a penny cause heaven will have the biggest buffet that you have ever seen. I miss calling you everyday at 3:15 and if I didn't you would call me. I miss you so much but I know you are not hurting anymore. But if anyone asked you if you wanted to come back to earth you would say no. I love you dearly. Your son
I miss you terribly Mama, my heart is so shattered without you. I love you so much.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May God give the family peace in your time of loss. Carolyn will greatly be missed. Much love to the family.
Carolyn was a wonderful person. She always was a very happy person even when she didn’t feel good. She had the biggest heart especially for her family. I loved her dearly and will miss her. But knowing she is with our Savior gives me peace. Prayers for the family I lit the red candle because she loved Christmas and went all out for it before Halloween came.
