To Ms. Lora and the family of Rowland N. Johnson, I just want to lift all up uto the Lord in prayer. Just in our knowing he’s no longer in pain, shall bring relief unto our hearts. Love you ALL, Pam-Pam
Love You Rowland. May God continue to care for the family.
Love u all.
Heaven has called upon you, my big brother to day,
leaving so many words left to say.
But now it’s too late, for your time has come,
words unspoken; I am sure everybody has some.
Regrets and wishes are probably there too,
but lasting forever are memories of you.
You was always there for me night or day.
There have been many times that we disagreed,
but we were there for each other in time of need.
Now it’s time for me to say Good-Bye,
until we meet again in heaven to fly.
I LOVE YOU ROWLAND
GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
YOUR BABY SIS DANA (DANE DANE AS YOU WOULD CALL ME.)
