Dear Gwen & Freddie, we did not hear of Juanita’s death until Tuesday morning and we are so sorry to hear about her sudden passing. Health issues kept us from attending the funeral but our thoughts and prayers are with you. You will not remember us as you were both small children when your Mom & Dad and a number of us were building our homes in Oakley. They were such friendly and good neighbors. Always caring and concerned about our neighbors at that time. Since then we have lost touch in moving away but saw Juanita occasionally. We mourn her loss with you dear children and your families. May God’s peace and comfort be with each of you.
