This picture is exactly how I remember my Aunt Juanita. She always was smiling and laughing. I loved her so much in my very early years. Sadly I hadn't seen her in many years but every time we had a family reunion she was there and laughing. She was the last one of the many Hines men and women, brothers and sisters aunts and uncles. She will be remembered fondly and missed greatly.

I have known Juanita since 1975 when we moved to LR to serve at Calvary Baptist. She was a fun lady, in fact she was a hilarious friend. We could always count on something poignant and hilarious coming out of Juanita's mouth. One of my memories of her is watching her and a class of seniors citizens demonstrate ON STAGE the exercises learned and practiced at "Body Recall". She was really with it. It saddened me to see her in a wheel chair. Now, we know she is walking on cloud nine with the Lord and is no longer incapacitated. Praise the Lord.
