Talynn, the beloved daughter of Traveon Johnson and Chrisandra Freeman, was born April 13, 2018 in Cedar Rapids. She loved to dance especially to the song, Jesus Loves Me. “Duddy”, a nickname her parents gave her, was brave, a fighter, strong and will forever be remembered as a loving child that always gave lots of smiles, laughs, hugs and kisses. Talynn will never be forgotten and will always be in the hearts of her family and loved ones.
The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses on the 11th floor and the PICU team on the 3rd floor at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital for all the care they gave to Talynn.
