I know Juanita must have been a wonderful woman. My thoughts, prayers and sympathy go out to all who loved her. I am especially grateful to have witnessed the love her sister, Pat, had for her as she accompanied Juanita and family through the last chapter of this life. Sisters are a beautiful gift and what a love to behold. Blessings!
