Friendship was what our neighborhood was all about. Great memories of growing up together, sharing our teenage years with one another....and then, reuniting once again to rekindle those fond memories of yesterday. We will all remember our last gathering with Juanita. What fun we had that day!
She will always be a part of our memories.
FOREVER FRIENDS!

Dear Richie,
My sincere condolences on the passing of your lovely wife. I always enjoyed talking to her at family get-togethers at Alice's and Tom's. And I was so impressed by the two of you as a couple, for it was so obvious how much you cared about each other. I know how much you will miss Juanita, and I hope that in time your memories will comfort you. My prayers are with you and your family.

I will never forget her beautiful face and sweet ways. I knew her since we were 14 or 15. She came back into my life one Christmas party at my house. I thought she looked the same as always. I heard she was sick, and I prayed for her and her family. I know she will be missed by all. May God give her peace and take her home.
Ramona H, Ramos
