Aunt Juanita I remember sitting in the back seat of a car with you;as you prepared to move to California. You were a little sad, but then a Temptations song came over the radio and you started to car dance. "The Way You Do the Things You Do!" You were the fun Aunt with just enough sass! I will never forget your kindness when my son was born. I still have the layette you made for my children. I let them wear one....You are a Proverbs 31 woman of God. Carlonda Williams
