I have had the honor and privilege of working with CayCee for many years. I will always cherish our conversations, our gut wrenching laughs, her famous one liners, and the light that she brought to the school.
She always took care of everyone else before herself and had the best attitude towards life. Amazing woman. The world seems a little dimmer without her.
Much love and blessings to the Johnson family.
