Memorial

Dad's memorial service will be held Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 2:00pm at the Wynne Chapel at Highland Park Presbyterian Church in Dallas.

It was Dad's preference that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets Association.  A fund has been set up in his name, and donations can be sent to:

Corps of Cadets Association

1134 Finfeather Road

Bryan, TX  77803

Please reference "Jimmy Johnson" in the memo line of the check.

Forever Loved

This morning at 2:00 am Dad took his last breath comfortably and peacefully in his home.  He showed no signs of suffering or struggle, and for that we are all grateful.

Memorial service arrangements have not yet been made, but I will try to post the information here as soon as something is settled for anyone interested.

He will never be far away, always in our hearts.

Homecoming

We have entered a new chapter in our saga.  Today, after almost 3 months in the hospital, Dad came home from the ICU.  We are transitioning to an in-home hospice care situation.  Dad is very weak and tired, and while he isn't really able to speak he can hear and respond to our yes/no questions.  We are incredibly happy to have him comfortably home, and I think he is also happy to be here.  So far we have had excellent and responsive care from the Community Hospice of Texas staff.  We are also unbelievably grateful to Dr. Jerry Moore ('63 and Lucky 13 original member).  He has been with us since early this morning helping the transition go as smoothly as possible.

Here is a photo of Dad in his bedroom right after arriving home this morning.

Here he is resting comfortably a few hours later.

We continue to be so thankful to all our friends and family for your phone calls, texts, thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for checking in.
