Juanita & Anita (Twin) were like one beautifully shared soul, each a sparkling personality, a unique infectious laugh, and a youthful spirit which transcended into adulthood. I had the pleasure of being their pre-teen friend, classmate, and confidant which continued throughout our lives. Anita cooked for me after a lengthly hospital stay while Jaunita read to me. During Anita's last days I was working in Nashville and devastated upon notice of her untimely death. After moving to Atlanta, Juanita and I often lost touch between her numerous caregiver roles. I never stopped searching for her, and I mourn the loss of our hours-long phone calls and Talladega visits where our laughter kept our hearts young & sprite. Juanita was my sister from another mother, my sweet talented & empathetic friend. Until I leave this earth, my stories of the Twins will live honorably in my heart and shared with those I love. My condolences to her sister & brother, and to her cousin Evelyn, may peace, comfort, and joy from your memories of twin stay with you forever. ♡ Steven
