To Johnny Lee Straps family. Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss, 47 years old is way to young to pass, When I lost my Dad 11 years ago at the age of 74 and thought that was to young. Although I didn’t know Johnny personally, I can see how much he has contributed to his family’s happiness. I know how extremely painful it is to loose someone close to us, but the comfort that I received from God’s word was so helpful, because it gave me a hope. Jesus’ words at John 5:28+29 and Isaiah 25:8 were so comforting to me. Please read them yourself to see why .
Dear family I love you all!! Johnny will be greatly missed however he would want all us to stand firm beside each other, so I want each of you to know I’m here if you need anything or someone to talk to!!
