Mrs Juanita was a very kind and loving lady, and my mother’s dearest friend. She was an inspiration to all young mothers whose babies she taught and loved on in the church nursery.
A dear saint has arrived in Heaven. To each of you - Jacki, Jerri, Bucky, Jimmy, and Joey - my prayer is that God will give you sweet peace and comfort.

Mrs. Juanita was truly the virtuous woman described in Proverbs 31:10-31.
To know her was to love her. She was a faithful servant of the Lord and a perfect mentor to the younger women around her. She loved her Lord, her family, her church family, her friends, those who were lost and especially her "nursery babies". There will never be another Mrs. Juanita, she will be missed by all who knew her. The world would be a better place if there were more "Mrs. Juanita" virtuous women in this world.
