“Rev. Edward Johnson, Sr. and Rev. Edward Johnson, Jr. We have placed a prayer for both of you for a safe and healthy round trip to SC and back to DC. We were sorry to hear of your loss. It is hard when family lives so far away that you do not see them daily. Think back and pull up memories of Johnny smiling and enjoying your visits. May God embrace your family as they mourn and impress His calling upon all of you. Our condolences The Grays Bernard, Sr., Carolyn, Bernard, Jr. & Pamela”
