Tom and family,
My sincere sympathy to all of you and my thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of grief. May each of you be filled with beautiful memories and may you be blessed with peace and understanding.
Dear Juanita, my gentle aunt, you were always loving to me and mine. We will remember you always and keep you in our hearts.
Kern and Victoria
All my thoughts are with you, Diana.
Our prayers are with you Tom and your family.
What a remarkable lady Mrs. Juanita must have been. She gave the extraordinary gifts of music talent along with the love that seems to exceed most of our own pale expressions today!
Though I did not know her personally, I and the congregation of The First Baptist Church of Sylva,
see and celebrate her spirit every week as we see it and experience it in her lovely daughter, Diana, and Diana’s good and sturdy family that serve us all so faithfully in the name of the Lord here!
Thank you, Lord, for this long and fruitful life of your servant whose faithful life of commitment and love bore a true witness to Your Grace so well!
Dr. Bill Henderson,
for The Congregation of
The First Baptist Church of Sylva
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your family in the loss of your mother.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Diana, as you go through this difficult journey. Saying good-by to one’s mother is hard although you know you will be together again another time, another place. My love to you, Jim, your boys, and their families. I am thankful you have such a loving family to share special memories with at this time.
Always,
Mary Anne
Right after Diana and I were married, I told Nanny that if a man had to have a mother-in-law, I was glad she was mine.
Diana and all of the family, you are in my prayers during this time of sorrow. I know your feelings as we just experienced Mama’s passing in April. I remember we all had good laughs & times when we were in school. God be with each of you. Diane
Diana, our love and prayers are with you, James Henry, and all of your family at this time. May God wrap his blanket of comfort around you. With much love.
Marcus, Gwen, and Aunt Gustie
Tom and family – I just want you to know that you, Diane and Gary are in our thoughts and prayers during this time. I’m so sorry for your loss…
Tom Tweed, I am saddened with your loss. Even though I never met your wife but maybe once or twice, I do remember her. But I just wanted to say that I have always appreciated you as leading our Boy Scout troop. I specifically remember your spending time with me on tree identification down in the woods across from your house. Just know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Tom, Diana & Gary,
What a special person Aunt Juanita was! We are all blessed to have been a part of her life. I have many wonderful memories of her to cherish. We will keep all of you in our prayers. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Peace in Christ,
Janet & Dick
Sorry to hear that Juanita has passed away. She was always a lovely person. At least now there will be no more suffering. We know that we will all be with her someday. My heart goes out to the entire family.
To Brandon and your family-
You are in our prayers.
