im am so sorry for your lost please keep this in mind: But because of the resurrection hope, Christians are told: “We do not want you to be ignorant concerning those who are sleeping in death; that you may not sorrow just as the rest also do who have no hope.”—1 Thess. 4:13.

Juanita has been a mother to many of us as we have grown up and now grow old. I will never forget how she helped the UNA cheerleaders over the years with encouragement, meals or whatever she could. I know Heaven has a bright angel now in Juanita. May God comfort her family with her memory.

Gloria-I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I became acquainted with her while she was at River City Rehab during the time my mother was there. She was always so kind to my mother and to me and always told me that I didn't have to worry about mother when I had to leave because she would look after her for me. I have learned that she was a "mother" to a lot of people!! How wonderful it is to have the privilege of having such a loving mother. Love to you and your family.

Gloria and Martha,
Although I have never met you, I have heard about you from your mom. Mrs. Juanita was a dear friend to my Nana, Carolyn Driver. I got to know your mom while I was caring for my Nana. I always told her that I wanted to be her when I grow up :) She was such a support to her friends. She took Nana to your lake house many times and Nana enjoyed their friendship so much. I'm saddened by her loss, but know that she is reconnecting with the many friends and family memebers that were there to greet her. May God see you through this time of grief. Hold tight to those precious memories of your wonderful mother.
Sending my love,

Gloria & Macon,
So sorry to hear of the passing of your Dear Juanita. Gloria, it is a real blessing to have a mom who is also a good friend; kinda like another sister. Please give sister Martha a hug for us & our condolences to all the family. We remember how Ms Juanita danced the night away at your wedding; we are enclosing a picture that will always remind us of this lovely & lively lady!
We are trying to imagine her new first dance with her hubby. Their forever dance & life have now begun.
Dear Ms Juanita was a lady who loved life & family. Use this wonderful example as you continue to love and care for one another. Love & God Bless!
