We just learned of Juanita's passing and want to say that we have the fondest memories of many dinners shared in San Bernardino years ago. I have lots of good childhood memories with Randy and Greg in California and the time we all spent together as kids. Mom and I are thinking of you, Randy and Greg, as you go through this difficult time. It is always hard to say goodbye.
Love, Mary Anne Benedetto & Clara Greene

We were so sad to hear of the loss of our aunt and sister-in-law. She was the last one of the Jackson family. She will be missed greatly. My mother talked with her weekly on the telephone and I know she will miss her more as the days goes by. We all will miss her. Jeff, Anne and Betty.

We were sorry to hear of the passing of Juanita. We always got together when we went to visit with their neighbor, George and Lillian, and have kept in touch over the years since. Our thought and prayers are with her family and friends. Hugs, Janice and Art
