After a long journey of battling Breast Cancer, Lorie Johnson passed away on Sunday, January 25, 2009. Although we didn't know Loire very long, her faith and love for the Lord has had such a profound impact on us all. We will never forget her warm presence and contagious smile. There is no doubt in that Lorie is in Heaven right now, Cancer free with no more pain! But for now our thoughts and prayers turn to the ones she left behind who loved her so dearly. Daryl's family has a long road ahead and will need all the support they can get. Our heart goes out to Lorie's mother who just recently lost her husband before Thanksgiving, and now her daughter.
As for the money we raised on the Johnson's behalf in hopes they would all get to go to Disney World, we will instead be giving it to Daryl as I'm sure they will be in need. Thank you to everyone who participated and let's all remember what life is all about and how short it really is. Lorie has had such an impact on so many people by the way she lived her life and how selfless she was. How would you be remembered? Let's all truly strive to live each day if it were our last, because you never know...
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.Psalms 116:15
