Reflecting on our sweet and loving lil bunny, or as some fondly called her, “cutie,” fills our hearts with both sadness for the void she left and warmth for the memories she gave us. Though her physical presence may be absent, her spirit lives on in our daily lives.

In the midst of this challenging time, we draw strength from the resilience she instilled in each of us. Her words, “baby, only the strong survive,” echo in our hearts, serving as a reminder of her unwavering determination and courage.

We carry her love and light with us always, cherishing the moments we shared and keeping her memory alive in our hearts.

With all our love and affection,
Victoria & Brandon

We ALL love ❤️ and miss you dearly…. You heaven watching over us🦋🩷🫶🏽🍀❤️👼🪽🙏♥️😭😇

Grandma my Queen, I love and miss you….🥰

I miss my grandma so much. She was the nicest person in the family. Just like her son and many of her family. She loved them no matter what. Right or wrong, because nobody is perfect. And God is a forgiving God. She always made sure her family or a friend wasn’t hungry or needed a place to stay. She was Wonder Woman and an angel from God, all in one!!! I know you proud  of me grandma, the mother I’m to my children. Is because I watched you care and love for your children and grandchildren. You was a strong and hard working woman grandma. Nobody can ever take your place. You will always be the Queen of this family!!! God has blessed you with your wings 🪽, now fly high my beautiful butterfly 🦋 of an angel!!!!!!!👼!!! We all love ❤️ and miss you dearly grandma. God couldn’t wait any longer on you beautiful, he needed you more than us. You are a child of God in his kingdom of heaven.

My condolences to the entire family as well as friends of Dorothy Sue (Griffis) Johnson. Her Absences will always be cherished by her immediate family as well as those she has influenced along the way. From Paris Texas to San Diego California, (Dot Sue) as we know her, she have truly set forth a Legacy in her timing on Earth. 
Being as sweet as a human being as she could be in My lifetime, she definitely has been a key influence in My Life. She gave birth to several children in her lifetime, which I from the sideline, I wished one had been me. 
From the outside. she made life look so perfect, as a Mother, I cherished her smiles from afar, she never distinguished any difference, no matter what. 
Dot Sue, as we called her, has always been such a sweet, kind hearted, subtitled, Woman. Underneath it all, she taught me how to be a woman to my husband and a Mother to my children, all without saying a word. 
She was a living example, as she preached in silence. I have adored her, since I first layed eyes on her. Her BEAUTY, arose from WITHIN. Her soft spoken voice was overflowing with happiness . Even though I learned from her, as quiet as it’s kept, life Just Looks LIKE This Baby. She was one of my Mama’s as well as to her Birth children.SHEHAS BEEN A MOTHER TO ME AS WELL. 
To Georgia, Sharon, Diane, Vickie, Valarie, And Pete., you all were assigned A Magnificent, Remarkable Spirit, who will be with you, the remainder of your days on this earth. Cherish this from the children, to the Grand Babies Forwarded into FOREVER. 

Happy Grand Seating QUEEN’ your arrival was un expected by all of us, however ours has to be accepted as well. Grand horizons to  you Queen!

So sorry to hear of Mrs Valerie Johnson, Valerie's mom, leaving us. I was a neighbor for a few years in Round Rock, and always enjoyed my time with them talking, laughing, going to gospel mass and sharing meals. She was such a sweet soul.

My sincerest condolences Valerie to you and the rest of your family.  I briefly met your mom and recall her being a sweet lady. As you know I'm just a phone call away!


My condolences to the family of Ms. Dot. I remember visiting and enjoying your family when my sisters, my mom and myself visited San Diego in 2014. You guys were so hospitable to us, and our mom and your mom enjoyed each other so much. It was a trip I’ll never forget. My mom still talks about that trip. My prayers are with y’all during this time. Love y’all! 🙏🏽😇🙏🏽

I am truly sorry to hear about your loss.  Your mother was a wonderful woman with a heart of gold.  Sharing in your sorrow with love and friendship.  My deepest condolences to your entire family. 


Grandma you helped me get through my first pregnancy. And was at the hospital when I gave birth to Jayden.  Thank you for everything. I remember as kid going to work with you. You never complained about working 2 or 3 job at a time. While still taking care of home and your grandchildren. 
Hamburger, helper, tunafish sandwiches, goulash, red apples you make sure you feed your family. I miss when the family would get together at the house on Skyline or seaport Village. Good times and lots of laughs. You loved to go riding in the car and holding your purse😂 So many things about you I will miss. I still can’t believe you’re gone. But never will be forgotten grandma. You was such a sweetheart, loved by so many people. You lived a good life surrounded bye family. I’m blessed to have had you as my grandmother. Blessed to have the precious and priceless memories with you. We ALL share a special bond with cutie. Only the strong 💪 survive. You was one of the bravest and strongest women I know. You loved 🥰 the Lord as he loved 🥰 you. Grandma you are his special angel in heaven.😇❤️🙏💪😭💐 RIP Little Dorothy 😇❤️🙏💪💐😭 

Praying for the Family.  May God continue to give the Family strength in your time of grief.

Momma  has always been a woman that has embraced everyone she encountered. Her smile would let you know that she loved you no matter what you were dealing with. I am forever grateful that God allowed her to share her words of encouragement with me.

 You always saw the good in everyone. That’s because you have a heart of gold. You were strong to the very end. Thank you for all you have done grandma. We will miss you

Our family lost a matriarch, but heaven gained an angel. Grandma, you were a force of nature and I love you fiercely. Everyone should be so fortunate to have an incredible role model like my grandmother. She was a shining example of love and integrity for our family. Her strength lives on in me and the rest of our family. If my grandmother loved you, you knew it. She loved hard; she loved fiercely, and she loved without reservation. Everyone should be so lucky to have the power of that kind of love as a legacy in their life. No one could listen like my grandma. No one could cook like my grandma. No one could love like my grandma. She was truly one-of-a-kind and lived a unique life. How did my family get so lucky to have her for all this time? It is our turn to shine your light on the rest of the world, so you may rest in peace. Rest easy, sweet “lil cutie”. You left the world better than you found it.

I love you!! Your granddaughter, Victoria! 



Grandma when I got you had the chicken noodle soup and Gingerale soda ready for me. The malt-o- meal and homemade French toast you would prepare us for breakfast. How you told me I was so small at birth I could fit into the palm of your hand. Thank you grandma for helping my mom raise us on 6040 Skyline Dr all those years. Thank you for everything you done for me and my children. I will miss your laugh and you dropping like it hot🤣🤣We hate to see you go. But there is no more pain or suffering. So I’m blessed to have my memories with you, that priceless. I remember you driving on your pillow taking us to school or the store. How you loved your snicker candy bar and diet Dr Pepper.. Lord there is so much things that make me think of you grandma. We love you and will miss you dearly. Love Iisha, Jayden, Jada and Maurice.RIH cutie 

My deepest sympathy to the family in your loss of your Dear Mother. It was truly and honor to meet her and attend church with her and Valeria a few years ago in San Diego, Ca. Praying for your strength at this time of mourning to have peace , understanding and comfort . 
Charles and Shermaine Truvillion Sr and family.
We love you
