    Karen, it saddens me to read about the death of Johnnie in the paper this morning. It makes me smile to remember all the good memories we made while working at Paul Rose Department Store. I wish we could have kept in touch over the years but that is how life is. May God give you and your family peace and comfort in the days ahead. Love and Prayers, Barbara and Johnny
