Very sorry for your loss. My ex-in-lawes, Vince and Nora Hayward, had a little house off of Willow Street. Jerry and I enjoyed having Racy and Juanita as neighbors for the short time we were there! They were very kind!

Aunt Juanita was a wonderful person. She would always send Mom and I cards for all those special days. After Uncle Racy died, she continued to stay in contact with us making sure that we were doing okay. We have many beautiful memories, and will never forget her.
Our deepest sympathy.

Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of a beautiful woman. Although I never met Juanita, I felt like I knew her. She always remembered Bruce and I and our family on holidays, with her lovely greeting cards. I'm glad I had the opportunity to correspond with her. From what I hear, she was a well loved lady and will be deeply missed. Juanita and her family will be in our prayers.
