John, my friend, neighbor, schoolmate, but best of all a baseball team mate. Many summer days spent chasing balls and sneaking into backyards to retrieve a home run ball without being reprimanded. Those hazy lazy days will last forever in my tom girl memory. Much love and deep sorrow. My deepest sympathy to your family. Juanita Lanham Johnson Lithonia, GA
