If I ever decide to give up on you, you need to understand how much that took out of me. I'm the type who gives endless chances, always has your back and truly accepts you for who you are. When the rest of the world doesn't want you, I will. So if I decided to give up on you, please understand that it took everything that was left inside of me  to leave you alone.

DADDY I LOVE YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND HONOR YOU! THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST LOVING SUPPORTIVE DAD EVER! 
ALWAYS DADDY’S GIRL

Are family will miss you! Our families had so many wonderful memories together. We will always treasure them. Dance with my sister Diane in heaven. Love the Coffeys

I lost touch with Johnni e over the past several years and I grieve when I heard hat last years, he suffered from that horrible disease.  Johnnie was the strongest man I knew personally.  John got me in to working out and competing in power lighting tournaments.  John was with me for my first match in Jacksonville and later we went to Nationals in Atlanta.  Marge and I took various trips with Janett & Johnnie, Mary & Glenn to different venues.  Good memories.  Johnnie was very comforting when I loss Marge due to cancer she survived for nine years.  Johnnie was very successful at his businesses he started from scratch, I will always keep the memory of Johnnie with me as I look at pictures of the trips we took, the trophies we earned together and the items he gave me.  Pease be with you and may the  light of our Lord shine on you until we meet again 

I will miss my brother terribly. Fond memories of a life well lived.

Johnny, you were  such a great friend to me, and later to both Glenn and me.   I will always remember the fun times  we all had together.   You will be missed.  

Johnny you were a great great friend to my late husband Al. You brought us laughter and joy. Al will be happy to introduce you to his new friends in heaven. Please know you will be greatly missed. 

25 years of marriage and 29 years of business … you were my greatest educator in life and at times my best friend. While you tried my patience end on end, I’m glad you entered my life and when it was time to let go, we did it without animosity but with an understanding most people will never know.  Thanks for the ride and Rest In Peace.
