Celebrating our birthday today dear brother, we both born on
Thanksgiving day 11-26-39, surely a doubling blessing.
All these years have gone and still miss you.   It seems like it
was just yesterday we celebrated our birthday with our loving parents and grandparents.
I may not see you dear brother, but you live
always within me.
I wonder if you feel young at heart like I do, and play your
gold plate horseshoes in the rain still?
That cold November day when you were in your coma deep, it
looked as if you were just staring out the window.
Though you were brain dead remaining in your coma for five years before God came and took you home, I felt you with me at all times dear brother of mine.
You still with me after all these years and needed to write something about you today, John Alexander Johnston..You were a fighter, never gave up..Life was a challenge to you, nature was your awakening, and God your strength, just like me, your three minutes younger sister!
I love you deeply dear brother of mine.

Happy Birthday Jack!
Save me a dance!
(Loving Sister)
