In 2020, we moved to SC not knowing anyone; however, very quickly we were blessed with the acquaintance of James and his wonderful family. It was very easily seen that James was the foundation to all of his family members. We cherish the gift of kindness that James blessed his family with; and so grateful for his and everyone’s southern hospitality. We will be praying for God to comfort each of you with such a tremendous loss.
Our sincerest sympathy,
The Johnsons
