My Dearest Juanita, When I met you I had no idea how much my life was about to to be changed, how could I have known? A love like ours only happens once in a lifetime! You were a miracle to me, the one who was everything I ever dreamed of,I thought only existed in my imagination. When you came into my life I relized that what I had always thought was happiness couldnt compare to the joy loving you brought me. You are part of everything I think, do and feel. You are and always will be the love of my life......I miss you so much........

With a sad heart and fond memories of Juanita, I pray that she has found peace. It has been many years since I last connected with her and yet, I can still remember her sense of humor, her smile and our childhood friendship. She will always be in my heart. Rest in peace.

My beautiful, loving and funny sister...I still can't believe this. I'll miss your wonderful laugh and unique sense of humor. I'm so glad you found your soulmate in Kenny. You deserved that kind of happiness. I'm sure you're hugging Dad, Mom, Ed and Grandpa! My deepest sympathy to Kenny and my four nieces. She loved you with all her heart! Nita, I'm proud you're my sister! Love you forever, Ging!

From the moment I met Juan she was kind and compassionate. She helped me out when I was at my lowest as I know she has done for others. Whenever I was feeling sad and blue I would call her up and she ALWAYS had a way of showing me my life wasn't that bad. I'll never ever forget you Juanita. May God's angels carry you to thy slumber. My sincere condolences to Kenny her children and grandkids.
