Juanita and her family were neighbors of mine when I was a child. I was a frequent visitor in her home when I was growing up, and she always welcomed me with kindness and love. Juanita and my mother were great friends, and they enjoyed each other's company immensely. I will always remember Juanita for her giving heart and joyous spirit.

To say "one of a kind" seems trite, but she was the real deal. She will not be forgotten. A memorial donation has been sent to the IU Simon Cancer Center, in her name, in hopes of helping someone else.
