To Aunt Juanell,
I have wonderful memories of you on holidays when Granny was alive and of having gatherings at your house. Grandma loved you so much. Mom thought of you almost like a sister since you were so close in age. I’m so glad I got to celebrate your 90th birthday with you. You will be missed! Love, Traci
Will miss her laughter. She was a very sweet lady. We loved her so much. Prayers for the family during this time
Marsha and Tim, Sorry for your loss!
