Donald Johnson

Don Johnson

Don's wife, Patricia, (and their daughters) have asked Peoria #31 to hold Masonic Funeral Services for Don at 1 pm on Monday, March 16, 2009 at the Peoria #31 Lodge.   This is very short notice, but it would be nice if as many members as possible could attend the service for Don.  Burial services will be held in Minnesota.

In addition, I thought it would be very much appreciated if those attending could help take some of the burden off of Patricia's shoulders if attendees would bring finger foods of some sort for after the services.  Some suggestions are:  meats & cheeses tray, dinner rolls, vegetable tray, snack foods, cookies, nuts, and such.
