Background
On October 8th, our beloved mother, Giovanna Novella Johnson, passed away unexpectedly. This loss has left our hearts broken, and my little sister and I are doing our best to navigate everything that comes with saying goodbye far sooner than we ever imagined.
Our mother was funny, sweet, God-fearing, and full of love. You could hear her laugh from a mile away and see her light up any room with her beautiful smile. She loved music, her faith, and her family with her whole heart.
As we prepare to honor her memory and plan her service, we’re also working to fix up her home a place filled with memories that we want to preserve and care for in her honor. Between funeral expenses and repairs, things have become a bit overwhelming, and we’re asking for support from family, friends, and anyone who loved her.
Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward her funeral arrangements and helping us restore her home with love and respect. Even if you can’t donate, your prayers, kind words, and messages of comfort mean the world to us.
We find peace knowing she’s finally resting in heaven, reunited with her parents and siblings, and free from all pain.
Thank you for your love, support, and compassion during this difficult time.
