Zoe Ranee Johnson Funeral

Donation protected
Zoe Ranee Johnson was my daughter, my love, my heart. She left this world on July 6th, 2015. My life will never be the same without her.

The day Zoe was born was the day I felt what every new parent gets to experience; True love. She had chubby cheeks and the bluest eyes. Her smile was contagious and just hearing her laughter was enough to brighten anyone's day. I knew she was special from the moment I laid eyes on her. She was mine.

Zoe was loved by many, she was very close to me, and her grand parents, Cheryl and Rodney. She was loved dearly by her Aut Ranee and Uncle Dave, Her Unlce Rodney and Aunt Alyssa plus her nieces and nephews, Aiden, Ayla, Rain, and Cash. However, most of all, she was loved and admired by her baby sister, Sutton. Sutton loved to sneak into Zoe's room and put on her make-up. Of course, she did a horrible job at it and she ended up with half of a black face and the other half was pink, but she admired her big sister and wanted to be just like her. Make-up and all.

As Zoe grew older, and started entering her teen years, she battled with depression. She was also very fond of her social media sites like facebook, twitter, and instagram.  As most teens usually are. After seeing her facebook, I noticed she was being horribly bullied by some other teens. One in particular was saying very mean and nasty things to and about her right before her passing. With social media bullying and depression combined she chose to take her own life. I have always hear these types of stories through the media but never thought it would hit this close to home. Her life was important and she was meant to do great things. She was taken from us too soon.

I started this page because I need help with the funeral expenses. I am a single mother in greiving so I am unable to work at the moment. I need your generosity and support through this tough time.  My life will never be the same without by baby girl. My heart is broken and I'm trying to pick up the pieces one by one. This is going to be a long battle but I will make it through. I've had so much love and support from my family and friends. Thank you all so much for you kind words and gestures and may god bless each and every one of you. Thank you!
