A mighty oak in a forest of lesser earthly trees has fallen. Stellar teacher at Madison high School, friend, and mentor Donzell Johnson entered into his eternal rest about 2:00 this afternoon. His enormous intellect, caring demeanor, intolerance for mediocrity, and life of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ leaves a legacy few can match, and certainly none exceed. As I always say of those who die in the Lord, it isn't goodbye - but until we meet again.
