Juanita was such a sweet lady. We enjoyed having her bring in her gandkids to our office over the past years. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family!

This is such a shock! We lost contact over the years but we saw our little girls start school together, accept Jesus together, go on vacations together and grow up into young women. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to John and the girls and the entire family.
