What can one say about Mrs. Juanita...Where do you begin to describe the most gentle..kindest soul..ever to grace the earth. Mrs. Juanita, or "Granmama" as I called her from the day that we met, brought such joy into the lives of so many. She was a grand lady. Whenever she walked into a room, you knew she was there, because such a presence flowed around her. She was my baseball buddy and I will miss her dearly. I'm a Rangers fan and She of course was the biggest supporter of the Cardinals. It always made me laugh, when she'd tell me that she'd watch the Rangers, but I had to watch her Cardinals. And as much as I am not a Cardinals fan, I'd watch, just so we could discuss the game. Thank you "Granmama" for bringing such joy into this world. My only prayer would be that you are resting and surrounded by love as you take your place upon high.

Gosh, there are so many memories I have of this precious lady. She was always there for me and I loved her as my 2nd Mother. I know she's in Heaven rejoicing with the rest of her family gone on before her, but sure going to miss her.
There will never be another one like her and I pray each of the great-grandchildren will remember her thru their parents.
Bless the Coney & Johnston families, and may God wrap his loving arms around all of us during this time. Also, I have to say Aunt Juanita loved her little dog "Sammie" and he will miss this great lady too!

It is my prayer that God will grant you peace and comfort at this time and I rejoice that Mrs.Juanita is reunited with those who have gone before her and with our Father in Heaven.
Love and Blessings,
