Letoya was not only my mentor, but one of the first people who truly welcomed me into the OJP family. She was consistently kind, supportive, and always encouraged me to grow into the best version of myself. We shared a special bond through our kids' love of sports, which made our connection even more meaningful.
My deepest condolences to her family during this difficult time. May her warmth and legacy bring comfort in the days ahead.
It has been so a pleasure working with you all of these years and getting to know you. I learned so much from you especially during that short period of time when you were my supervisor. I always knew that if I needed help I could always reach out to you. If you didn't know the answer you would help me find it. I will truly miss seeing your smiling face, even those times when I know you didn't feel like smiling. You were always straight forward with me and I always knew where I stood with you, which says alot about your character. As much as I miss you, I'm glad that you are no longer suffering. RIP LeToya.
I'm an OJP colleague of LeToya. She was a beacon for humanity. I enjoyed every opportunity to work closely with LeToya. My condolences to her family, husband and Chase. She loved you more than you know, and she let us know as such.
Sending my sincere condolences to the Johnson family. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with LeToya at OJP. My most memorable moment with her was spending time with her and Chase during OJP Kids Day. Seeing our kids having such an in-depth conversation about who know what at the age of 4 or 5...I have absolutely no idea what they were talking about, but it was such an enjoyable moment just sitting back and watching them interact. These are the little moments that make your heart smile. She was a pleasure to work with and will be greatly missed.
