Johnny Nelson

Johnny Nelson and I became good friends over the 18 years that Sabra was boarded at his stable, and we had many conversations.  We once talked about how we wanted to leave this world.  Johnny had told me he didn't worry about things like that, because they were in God's hands.  I told him I wanted to be carried off by a chariot.  Johnny's chariot was his tractor, which turned over on him as he was removing snow from a manure pile.  He was 85 - I miss him dearly.
