    May God wrap you all in his loving arms of comfort, while the peace of God Covers You!

    I have such sweet memories of Sis Johnson taking care of me when I was a junior in high school and had the mumps…the best chicken noodle soup I’ve ever had…what a Godly, Christian lady!

    My deepest sympathy to Mimoth’s family. She had a great spirit and love for the Lord. She attended the church services on Wednesday. She and your father were a wonderful couple showing their love for each other to all of us. May God be with all of you and may you have wonderful memories of her.

    The Johnsons were my first pastors and introduction to Pentecost when I was 12 yrs. old. The church was on 14th. st. We later built the church on 16th. st. I loved them both dearly. I have so many good memories of them. Heaven is a richer place today because she was truly an Angel. She is happy now with the Lord and being reunited with Bro. Johnson. They made a great team here on earth and touched so many lives. Responsible for many souls being saved. I know she will be missed by her family and my condolences and prayers go out to all of you. Lord Bless.
