I really enjoyed having Juanita help me during Christmas. She helped me at Baptist make Christmas t-shirts and i would see that she would look nice before a party and a picture. Now I am at Area Agency on Aging. I found out later after the funeral of her passing. I am so sorry for the families loss.God Bless.
