Sending Comfort and Peace to the Family and Friends of my dear friend Juanita. Juanita was a very special friend who left us much too soon. She left us all with Loving Memories to hold in our hearts. Juanita and I spent lots of time together when she lived in Palm Springs, CA. Time spent with Juanita was full of fun times, food and laughter. After she moved from Palm Springs we maintained our close friendship. She was there for my family as I have been for hers. When I lost my daughter, who lived in Georgia, there Juanita was, at the door with two cakes. You could never underestimate her kindness. She was Loved by all who knew her and will be greatly missed but her memories will be cherished in my heart forever. Blessings to all, Thelma W.
Family, Juanita was a great friend and support to me during her time California. She traveled 500 miles to support my when I did my trial sermon. And, before that she supported me in my endeavors in Palm Springs. We also spent a lot of time having fun, laughing, and enjoying life. I will missed her greatly. She was a great lady. I will remember you all in my prayers. Blessings to you, Rev. Dr. Theophous Reagans, Oakland, CA
