Many years of many fond memories do my heart good to think of Glen and all of you at this time. It saddens me that such a loss of one so very dear has to be here now. May your special memories be a comfort to you all and just knowing life in its own way is all part of God\’s Master Plan. He has the bigger picture in place whether we understand it or not and Faith in that Master Plan can sustain us all.
God Bless You.

We just found out about Rev. Johnson\’s passing yesterday, June 28, 2012. We are all deeply saddened by such loss. Rev. Johnson lived here in Aniak for many, many years with the Assembly of God church. Rev. Johnson also performed my marriage in 1991 to Morgan Adkins here in Aniak. I have so many precious memories of Rev. Johnson. My heart and prayers are with Mrs. Johnson and family. May God always watch over you and keep you safe…we shall all meet again someday when God says the time is right. God bless you all…
