Just heard the news today.
Johnnie and I go way back to my med school days training at the VA, into residency where she assisted us in the OR and then she honored me by becoming a longstanding patient. She was a force to be reckoned with and a light to all who knew her. Her abiding faith and contagious laughter were always apparent.
I will miss her greatly. My prayers go with all of you as you travel this valley journey until you see her again.

What a Singer! What A Lady! To the Family I express sincere condolences as I leave you with these words of comfort:
Don’t you dare cry for me! You’re not in Heaven and can’t witness marvelous things I am able to see. Streets are paved of silver and gold! All faces seem elated and smiling at me; no one appears tired, too young nor too old. It is seldom very cold or extremely hot up here.Weather conditions are pleasant; water is pure, sweet and crystal clear! There is no crying only laughter where I am! People are wealthy, kind and very loving! There’s no need to say yes sir nor madam! No one cooks meals from heated stoves. Daily meals are deliciously healthy. Food is always fresh, but it is never bought nor is it sold! Hilltops and Valleys are just exquisite to see! This place of exceptional formation called Heaven is much more wondrous than things Earthly! Don’t you dare cry for me you’re not in Heaven and can’t witness marvelous things I am able to see!
Your work on Earth is now done! You did it well! May you rest in the quiet stillness of peace.
To the Family, prayers are being sent up asking God to heal you individually and collectively as a Family unit.🙏🏾🙏🏾
My sincere condolences and prayers to Johnnie Mae’s family, may God’s peace and strength sustain you all during this difficult time of loss.

I want to give thanks for Mrs. Richardson for being one of the voices in the village that helped raised me and guided me. I am so glad that I did talk to you some time ago and our conversation was fun, happy, and encouraging. I will miss you and Lord knows I Love you so much but you will never be forgotten in my life.
She has found her “Bright Side” safe in the arms of Jesus. One of the best voices I have ever had the privilege of hearing and working with. Thank you for all your guidance and direction as I was growing to be the musician that I am today, I will miss you so much, but will never forget how much you have meant to me over the years. Sing on my sweet sister, sing to the glory of God on HIS Heavenly Choir.
RIP Johnnie 🕊️🙏
