REESE JOHNSON, age 14 was surrounded by her loving family and friends who said their final goodbyes today before bravely taking her rightful place in heaven this evening, just 3 weeks shy of her 15th birthday. Reese, a Warrior Princess during her double cancer battle had touched many, many lives as was witnessed at the hospital today and on her Facebook page- "Courage, Hope & Love for Reese".
This excerpt taken from Reese's Facebook Page, sums up her families raw pain and understandable hurt at the loss of their beautiful daughter:
"Our beautiful Reese left us tonight at 5 o'clock.... She's no longer in pain. Without a doubt she was the best thing that ever happened to us or anyone. Go with God baby girl we love 'you' and will meet up with you soon."
Reese had waged a courageous battle against two cancer types- Ewing's Sarcoma (malignant tumor of bones) and Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia (an uncommon serious second malignant growth of tissue following Chemo treatments). ACCFCB was honored to be counted among Reese's many friends and allies during the last 2 years of her life. We were witness to a family who loved and supported each other through a very difficult and tumultuous time.
It is with a heavy heart that our loss here on earth, is without a doubt heaven's gain! Rest in Peace sweet princess, you will never be forgotten!
