Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.

a good man died today. Alan Johnson, Jeff’s grandfather. many of you have never met the man, but he was a kind and wonderful person. he was always there when Jeff needed him. Here’s to you Mr. Johnson, may you always be rememberred how you were, a kind warm hearted man. Blessed Be.

jeff is the friend i call my brother, our families have accepted that we are siblings. so his grandfather’s death is much like my own grandfather dieing.  i didn’t actually spend a lot of time with him, but he was alwys good to jeff. they were very close. unfortunately, Alan had emphiseama and brain tumors… nice combination… he fell earlier this year and went into a coma for a while. when he came out of it he wasn’t the same. it was almost like he had alzheimer’s. but it was the tumors. Alan Johnson died though, this morning at 8 AM pacific time, on the 8th day of the 8th month in 2008. it should have been the most prosperous time of the next few years….but it wasn’t.

blessed be

    May his memory live on in our minds, may his spirit soar in our hearts, may his kindess never be forgotten. To those of you who did not know him directly remember this…we know everybody through 7 degrees of seperation. His being got to you somehow in some form…do not leave behind a great mind because of your foolishness. Mr. Jphnson wherever you be, from the bottom of many hearts thank you for what you gave of yourself to those in your life. We thank you for being the role model to 2 young boys who desperatly needed a father figure….thank you for everything.
