I would like to express my sympathy and condolences to family and friends at this time. I didn't know Juanita until after high school since our paths never crossed but fortunately, years brought us together through mutual friends. I found her to be caring and genuine individual who was a hard worker all of her life. I enjoyed her company and rare sense of humor always. At that time, she had a passion for photography and took beautiful pictures that I still have and will treasure forever. May the Lord shine upon you that you may find peace in knowing she is making Him smile now.
