Mary Johnson-Roy
IN 1993,
MARY
JOHNSONROY’S WORLD
MERCILESSLY
COLLAPSED.
Written by Karen Stewart Ross
Her teenage son, Laramiun, was murdered in cold blood at a party
in Minnesota by O’Shea Israel. A troubled young man, Israel was
convicted of second degree murder and spent the next several
years in prison. Accusing Israel of being an “animal” who deserved
everything coming to him, Johnson-Roy ironically began her own
sentence – a spiritual one ruthlessly wracked by unforgiveness,
bitterness, and hatred toward the man who had played God. One
day, God spoke to her through a poem. Humbled and convicted by
the Holy Spirit, Johnson-Roy reconciled with Israel in a dramatic
prison encounter that transformed them and many inmates.
Now, she calls Israel her son. The founder of From Death to Life,
Johnson-Roy and Israel now travel throughout the country sharing
their story of pain, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
