It was pleasure to know and serve Ray Johnson in his last year of life as well as Judy who was always concerned about his well-being. Ray’s enjoyment of devotions, scripture, hymns and prayers in our visits demonstrated his love of God and the Hoschton Baptist Church.
Judy, thank you for your loving care for Ray and his beloved, Mo.
Sincerely,
Susan Collins MDiv
