My family sympathy to you all. Frances and Juanita were good for each other and I am glad to have had the priviledge of knowing Juanita and being her friend and helped her at time when she needed a helping hand. Juanita was always happy and was a good example for me to have a better attitude for life. Thanks Juanita for pleasant memories of you to cherish when I was there at WTC visiting my Mom.

I am so sorry I cannot be there in person. I very much wish I could be by your side and you say your goodbyes to Nanny. She was such an amazing lady and I am so happy you had her in your life. I'm sure she appreciated all you did for her and you can treasure the time you spent with her. Love you very much!
