The Johnson Family extends our deepest sympathy to you. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Our families have been connected for a long time, our boys Michael, Andrew, & Logan grew up knowing that had a great gift - an additional set of grandparents. Dan was the policital leader in the community, they were exposed to the way the political arena was handled and how it fit in the 'big picture'; Mary Ann was the provided of tender 'spoiling' always could find treats; but most of all had the smile, kind words, hugs, and understanding that all children needs. Our children have benefited from their attachment to this family. As parents, we are truly grateful for your contribution. Mary Ann YOU will be greatly missed, but NEVER forgotten.

Tom, I was so sorry to hear about my dear, sweet Mary Ann. It was only a few weeks ago that we were chatting about old times at Aunt Mary's funeral. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to spend some time with her. I have such wonderful memories of Mary Ann, and I know I caused her many anxious times when I would jump into the river at your house when I was just a little girl. I will miss her greatly, even though I didn't see her often. Memories are the things that we hold near and dear and that noone can ever take away. I love you and am praying for you.
