Sorry for your loss. ”Miss Juanita”, as we called her was such a beautiful person. As a kid, she would always ask about my mom when I would go to Dave's Barber Shop. Miss Juanita will be sorely missed. God Bless.

To Keith Douglass Sweat and family

No one knows when the storm will pass but God. He prepares us for the turbulence and prepares us for the aftermath. I knew the charming Ms Juanita and will always remember her as a kind, caring person that nurtured Keith and motivated everyone she met. She installed fine morals into her son and she championed the community in which she lived. She was, in a sense, a sparrow backed by the power of the almighty God along with an army of Angels. She fought the good fight and carried on. She always had her eyes on God. His eyes were always on the sparrow and He will continue to watch over each and every one of you. Stay strong and carry on Ms Juanita's legacy.

Forever, your friend from the Harlem River Houses.

To the Sweat Family,

I remember Ms. Sweat from many many years ago. She, along with my own mom (Ginger Harris), was a Drum Corps Mom in Harlems's 28th Pct PAL Travelers Drum and Bugle Corps, a huge part of my life back then. We traveled, rehearsed, marched, rehearsed, traveled...extensively. We were teens and pre-teens, always in need of supervision, and Ms. Sweat was our extended-parent...very caring, concerned and protective of all of us, and we respected her.

That is my memory of Ms. Sweat. Though it may be small to those of you reading this, to me...not so small because Ms. Sweat formed part of the link to my youth.

May God bless her and keep her eternally, and may He comfort you--her family--and give you peace.
