The last time I spoke to Juanita was atleast 3 years ago when I got a phone call from her out of the blue-she had tracked my number down just to see how I was doing. I was so glad to hear from her even though she explained her condition to me at that time, not focusing on that at all, she was full of questions about me, my family,etc. During our conversation she mentioned GOD in several ways...I could just tell she knew him very well and she wanted to share that with me. I regret immensely that was the last time we spoke..although I did think of her often, always meaning to pick up the phone and call her. I want to express my deepest sympathy to all of her extended family members and know that I am praying that God will give you comfort thru this. The times I spent with Juanita, (years back), she was ALWAYS putting others before herself, sweet as can be,and she was funny too..those things I'll always remember about her. I remember her last words to me before we hung up the phone that day...she said I love you, and in reponse I said, I love you too. Let us all know that she is no longer suffering and is in the loving arms of the Lord our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Rest in Peace my friend.
