  9. So many wonderful memories of Mike, Carol, kids, family, Prairie Lane days, and happy times with this entire Richey family! I will never forget the good times in Madisonburg and all the wisdom this family has given me and my family! Thank you for sharing your lives with us Johnstons! pjk

    Here is some food for thought…

    Memories keep those we love close to us forever…

    Hold fast to your memories…
    To all of the cherished moments of the past,
    To the blessings and the laughter…
    The joys and the celebrations,
    The sorrow and the tears.

    They all add up to a treasure of fond yesterdays
    That you shared and spent together;
    And they keep the one you loved
    Close to you in spirit and thought.

    The special moments and memories in your life will never change.
    They will always be in your heart…
    Today and forevermore.

    …Linda E. Knight
