To the family of Mrs Juanita Thornton, better known to me as "Mrs. Rosy Cheeks." I am deeply sorry for your loss. I met her through Mr LT back in 2005 when I started at WCY. She had such a beautiful smile and heart to match. Always encouraging with words. She was truly heaven sent. I cant remember ever seeing her with a frown. That is why i loved her so much. I saw her in HEB once and was having a bad day, and she did nothing short of encourage me and before leaving, she said prayed over me and told me never to let anyone take me out of character and to let God handle it. I will live by those words forever. I am going to really miss her as I am sure alot of people will. Everytime I see her smile, i will think of her words. To Ashli and family, you had a Gem and I thank God I was able to cross her path and she show me love. Truly one of a kind. Stay encouraged and know that she is never too far away. I love you and will FOREVER Mrs Rosy Cheeks. Continuous prayers for you all
