    Juanita was very close to me and I will miss her very much. Every time I go to church I look for her. It is not the same without her wisdom in the Bible studies. She was a soldier in the service of The One and Only True God. Herschel and Lois Lyda

    I knew Juanita from Park Ridge cardio rehab where she excercised regularly. She was a wonderful lady with a great sense of humor. She is a person I honestly can say I'm a better person having known her. GOD has recruited a great one!

    We send our condolences to you on the loss of Juanita. She was a great lady. We loved her very much. We knew her from our exercise class that we've been in together at Park Ridge for 15 years. We always gave her green tomatoes. We are thinking of you during this difficult time.
