Josellia loved to sing and dance while wearing a smile on her face. She always knew how to make her family laugh by singing along to television commercials. Josellia’s favorite cartoons were PJ Masks and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It was almost impossible for her to sleep without her Owelette and Gekko; the characters in PJ Masks. Josellia’s precious smile and sweet voice will be forever cherished by those whose lives she touched during her short life.
Other survivors include her maternal grandparents, Lynn and Ego Suah of Laurel, Maryland and Mamie and Robert Sloan of Indianapolis; her paternal grandmother, Emma K. Johnson of Charlotte, North Carolina; her sister, Joelstine Johnson of Liberia; and a host of aunts, uncles and cousins.

MY sincere condolences to the family members during this difficult time. I just want to share a scripture that has strengthened me whenI lost a love one. However, there is no greater pain than the lost of a child. I pray it soothe the pain you are experiencing and give you the strength to continue to cope. Isaiah 41:10″Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness.”
