Jesse and family, we are so saddened to hear of Juanitas passing. We always enjoyed visiting with you guys when you were here or the 2 times we visited you. Love the memories we have of learning to play marble game, looking for shark teeth, and just talking. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her!

Jesse, my thoughts & prayers are with you & all your family. Juanita was a shining light & we all loved her. I will never forget her kindness & her laugh everytime we were together at Moms, especially the evening you brought the giant container of valentine's candy. Wonderful memories. So sorry I was unable to be there with you for the service but I just found out & it was too late. Always know I love you & hopefully will be able to go see you soon.
