Just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss to the family, because of her and her husband, they were part of my life as a child, loved the family, and they made feel as one of their own. So thankful for them in my life as a child, they taught me many great things, and the biggest was LOVE, to all that enter in their home.

Juanita was a beautiful person inside and out. She always had a smile. She truly understood what it was like to have six kids. She told me that every time I saw her. I pray for her children at this time.
