    Dear Family,
    Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your aunt, Johnsie. I wanted to be there for the memorial, but due to covid restrictions, could not make it. Your aunt holds a speical place in the hearts of me and my family. She was the grandma across the street (mine were deceased or far away). Johnsie and Allan were such a lovely couple and were certainly generous to us. Johnsie lent her sewing skills to wedding garments and my husband ended up with Allan's golf clubs. She opend her home to my parent's 35th anniversary party. Her Christmas ornaments to my children are some of the most treasured on my tree. Whenever I came to town, whether from college or my new home, I always made time for a visit across the street and then later at the Plantation. We enjoyed many wonderful conversations over the years. To me, Johnsie was the epitome of a southern lady. She was so classy and always so well put together, even when mowing the grass. Her intellect, poise, and character made her aspirational, and I am so thankful I knew her. Her love of the color yellow and for bananas make me smile. Care and concern went both ways across the street. We will all miss her. Please know that my prayers are with you as you mourn her passing.
    With Gratitude,
    Christine Foster Phillips
