No words can express the sympathy I feel. Juanita was such a special, strong woman that will forever remain in the hearts of her family and friends. Someday we will meet again and I will find her surrounded by loved ones, holding hands with her beloved Ellery—wearing that beautiful smile.

I loved her so much!
She was a very nurturing lady. She took me under her wing along with Rita Reed and they both helped raise me at Sedgwick James and at Regions.
My mother was named Juanita and I pray they meet and can talk about the good, bad and ugly that is me!😔
My prayers are with all of her family and friends who have lost a true “Angel On Earthâ€! I look forward to a heavenly reunion one sweet day!

One of the most precious women i've ever known. Charley and I want to express our condolences to all the family. We know she will be missed greatly, but we also know she is with her God and loved ones gone on before, what a rejoicing time it must be in heaven. Linda, I love you, and I am so so sorry, i wish there words to say, but I just don't or can't right now. She will be missed.
