How well I remember the great times we would have with aunts, uncles and cousins on Sundays. We would all wait for the Ed Sullivan Show to start and leave as soon as it was over. I remember Juanita sitting on the floor in front of the TV and always turning the channels with her feet. We would all laugh and then settle in to watch the show. Juanita was always the organizer and one memory I will always remember was her idea for all the cousins to sit on the staircase at aunt Phil's and sing songs. We would always sing our favorite "Sincerely" by the McGuire sisters. One of her favorite singers was Johnnie Ray, who's music she would play constantly. One she would play over and over was "Cry". Some of the Lyrics read: If your sweatheart sends a letter of goodbye. It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry. Well now, remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky. So let your head down and go ahead right on baby and cry. I will always remember her strutting around like Jane Mansfield to "The Girl Can't Help It".

There is no death...there is no dying -- only a change, a transition. How difficult to understand Juanita's passing to the other side... We were raised together and close buddies. My heart breaks as our family shrinks. Juanita will be missed by many... I will always remember her sense of humor and her laugh....especially at family funerals. We always found something to laugh at.

Number one in my mind is I will never forget your voice. It has been embedded in me since I was a little boy. I always felt comfortable and welcome when around you. My family moved nearly 3000 miles away when I was only 5 years old, but your beautiful laugh and voice came with me. I will never loose it. Well, guess like Joanne stated earlier here; your with your father and the rest of the family and they again get to enjoy your loving trait. Enjoy your new world, it's peace and happiness. Love, Cousin Dave

We are at a loss for words, knowing Anita was a treat, it seemed like we knew her a life time, as she welcomed us into her life without reservation. She brought a smile to our faces, each and every time we were around her. Then there were those long and endearing chat sessions on Pogo, i.e. Anita has entered the room, by the time you typed your first letter to reply, Anita has left the room. Anita will be sadly missed in our lives. We can't even imagine the depth of your loss, Patty and Cathy, hang in there kids. Keith & Renate Wallish Roseville, Minnesota

Will always remember the summer vacation you took care of me and my sister. I was 7 and followed Lorriane around. You'd let me brush your hair and read your Archie comic books. Taught me a good lesson when I stole guest soaps from the medicine cabinet. Made such an impression, I never took anything again. I was so ashamed when you said, "If only you had asked, I would have given them to you..." Loved your music. Thanks to you, we heard great rock & roll--much more than the white music on the radio. Remember the fun of gathering in the basement to dance to Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Billy Haley & the Comets. Will never forget the way you screamed when Elvis first appeared on Ed Sullivan--you were his biggest fan. While our family on Earth mourns, Uncle Jim, my mother, Aunt Meta & Uncle Bonu, Aunt Lucy & Uncle Sam, Duke, Lucille, Uncle Mike & Aunt Jean, Uncle Tony and Aunt Thelma, and Grandma & Grandpa are having a joyful reunion. Wait...I think I hear Uncle Jim calling to boil the water--the corn's ready!
