Greg, I am so sorry to hear about Juanita. Her picture video was amazing. I will never forget the times we had at SCCH in Medical Records! We laughed, we fought, we cried. That seems like a lifetime ago. I will never forget her laugh and I can still remember those days so well. I will forever remember Juanita and those days we all worked together. I have pictures of Shatley Spring trips that we all enjoyed to well. Good times. Great memories. I am praying for you all!.
