Patrick Stephen Johnson

My heart is broken today, My best friend, sweet husband, love of my life, father of our sweet children decided to go live with Heavenly Father. After a long week of fighting his work was done here on earth, I held him every day hoping and praying for him not to leave! I prayed harder than I ever have and cried harder than I ever will. I have felt love, pease, hope, fear, anger, and most of all my Heavenly Father carrying me through these 8 days. I have felt every one of you pray and fast for our family. I thank all of you for your love and support and givingness to our sweet family! Words cannot express my love for all of you and those who loved my sweet husband, thank you for all the texts, calls, and service you have done. I believe in eternal marriage more than ever and these days cannot go by fast enough to live with my sweet prince again. Ether 12:27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their ​​​weakness​. I ​​​give​ unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my ​​​grace​ is sufficient for all men that ​​​humble​ themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make ​​​weak​ things become strong unto them.
