To Everyone In The Johnson Family,
I can't express my condolences enough for your loss. Your family was so many things to me as Steve and I grew up together as inseparable friends. Some of my favorite memories were sleepovers where Mr. Johnson brought home pizza after bingo and watched TV with us until all hours of the morning. I miss all of you and my thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of loss.
With All of My Heart,
Steve Erickson
