Isabella "Bella" Rayne Johnson

Isabella Rayne Johnson was born our little lucky charm on St.Patrick's Day March 17, 2010. She was a beautiful person whose life, though far too short, was filled with love, dreams and the people and things she cherished most. 

Bella was bright and determined and had big plans for her future. She was almost finished with her high-school diploma with dreams of continuing on to nursing school. She had a caring heart and wanted to spend her life taking care of people. She also had a creative side and dreamed of becoming a tattoo artist. Her dad let her practice tattooing on him, a memory that will always hold a special place in his heart. 

Bella had a deep love for her family. She treasured the time spent with her siblings, nieces and nephews, especially Axl and Brady, usually letting them tag along for a soda and snack on a sibling only trip. You could typically find her at some random store, in some random town with her Grandma and Grandpa Clowers or playing video games with her best friend, Rachel. When she was younger, she loved to go ride her pony, Strawberry, that her Grandma and Grandpa Johnson got for her. She also had a special place in her heart for any cats but especially Yoda, Hershey, Donut, and Lola. 

Bella was deeply loved by her boyfriend, Izik Brown, with whom she shared a very special bond. She also cherished her time with her second family Erika, Zack, Oakley, Ellis and Archer Brown. They were an important part of her life and the love she shared with them will never be forgotten. 

Sixteen years was nowhere near enough time for Isabella to share all of the love, kindness, creativity, and dreams she carried. She leaves behind memories that will be treasured forever and a love that will continue to live in everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. 

Bella, I had you at seventeen. We grew up together, you were my best friend, my first born, my only daughter and my light. Until we meet again, lucky charm. I love you forever and always.
