My spirit lives on through all of you, especially my kids. Every memory of me will overflow your hearts with endless joy and laughter. Seeing there was never a dull moment when I was around, remember me for living life to the fullest, not only fearless but careless at times. That was just me, I know hearing I moved on to paradise, left many with tears, hopefully not more than the laughs we all shared. I appreciate all of my family and friends coming to celebrate my life, and as you can see, I’m still the life of the party”. Elbert Johns, III
