Matt, Mary and the entire McCoy family, we are so sorry for your loss. We were friends with Juan (and Ed) for more than 2 decades and spent many hours, too numerous to count in each other's home. Juan taught me how to make Cincinnati chili for the first time. She also used to watch Ed and I play in tennis matches at Baker Park, even though sports were not her thing. Juan was a woman of extraordinary strength, grace and wisdom. She loved her family very much and would mention you often. She once told me, she gave advice to her children and grandchildren, but only if they asked for advice. That was Juan! We loved her very much and are thinking of you all during this most difficult time.

Dear McCoy family, we are so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I have fond memories of visiting Juan, and she would always greet us with the most warm and welcoming smile! She was a wonderful, loving light in this world and she will be missed.
Our prayers are with you Matt, Mary and the whole family for peace and comfort at this time.
