Please accept my deepest condolences to the family! Some of my most favorite childhood memories were going to Auntie May's house, whether it was to go play or to be babysat. We spent a lot of time at the Johnston house when we were kids. It has truly been way too many years since I have seen any of you. Please know you are all in my heart and I am sending much love, strength and prayers. Auntie May was an amazing lady... Rest in Peace ❤️❤️

So sorry to hear of the passing of "Miss May"....I worked beside her this past year (doing fundraising for various groups) and we became ♡Friends.♡ Everyone in our office LOVED May, with her sparkly personality, great smile and quick wit!!! We "hit-it-off" because of our LOVE of the ocean, and she let me share tales of my 15 years living in the South Pacific.... Godspeed Miss May, you are l♡ved, and will be missed...
