MERRY CHRISTMAS JOHNNY

Merry Christmas Son in Heaven. At this time of year we think of you often and wonder, how can we spend another Christmas without you? This year again, Dad and I will run away and just try and pretend it is just another day. We miss you so much and don't quite know what to do. We just try and go on without you. You would be so proud of your sister and Brother-in-law raising your 4 nieces. Even though you only knew Ally, all the girls know about you.
WE LOVE YOU JOHNNY, MERRY CHRISTMAS

Here are a couple of pictures of Johnny at Christmas.
