A tribute to Mandy Johnson

A friend of mine passed away last Saturday as we were coming home from DH grandmother's funeral. She was 26 years old. She was a diabetic and her meds were changed and her frail body could not adjust the changes. There are so many things that made Mandy a special person...I think that the most important is that she loved people. It didn't matter that she sick herself most of her life. She wanted to help others and completed college as a surgical technication. She tried to work and as some will know how diabeties take a toll on the body and certain organs. She could not see from time to time because her sugar was too low. She has stomach ulcers and that made it to where she could not eat at certain times. I can remember that her and Momma were in the hospital at the same time (Momma due to CHF and Mandy due to issues with her diabetes). Mandy would get one of us to get a wheelchair and take her to "Granny's" room so that she could see and make sure that she was okay. Mandy would laugh and joke with Momma and when she got back to her room, she would get in bed and fall asleep almost immediately. She loved my parents as they were her grandparents, she always called them Granny and Pa.
Mandy was part of our family not by blood but my love. We loved her and she loved us. And that will never change.
Mandy, spread your wings and fly. We love you and miss you much.....
