My heartfelt condolences! I met Juanita when her family moved on York Street back in the day! We were classmates at Joneboro Elementary! She was such a sweet person, always with that fabulous smile! When I wanted to move to Boston, she was the one that said that I should go and to make her proud! That was 50 years ago and I still live there! My prayers are with her family! She surely will be missed!!
