Juanita was the most beautiful person that I have ever had the honor to know and love. We spent many a summer, on LBI, sitting on the deck smoking our cigarettes, talking about our days, our futures and our pasts. Juanita helped me find the courage to move to Arizona and begin a wonderful life. I wouldn't be who I am today without having known and loved her. Juanita will live on forever in all of our hearts, especially mine. I Loved her with all of my heart and I will miss her terribly. Rest In Peace, Beautiful Juanita...Rest In Peace...

Juanita was a very fine person who always had time to listen to your woes even though she had her own. I have fond memories of her from the Job Corps. I know she will be happy to see Michael again.
