The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Sherry Malone for the countless hours she spent with Diane; including all the Wal-Mart trips, outings, and time she spent visiting with Diane and Johnny at their home.

And also a special thank you to Judy Brown, Janie Cummins, Wanda Wilkerson, and Pierre Robinson for all of the many things they did for Johnny and Diane.
