Juanita Threadgill Bates, it's hard to imagine not being able to see her at St. Peter anymore. I would often sit on the left side of the church in the pew behind her. What I loved about Ms. Bates was her honesty and her fashionable style of clothes and shoes. RIP my dear Juanita Bates farewell, farewell until we meet again. Connie Sharpless
