Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one. I know sometimes, the heart looks for comfort but can't find any. I hope the scriptures found in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, brings you a measure of peace.

Mary Ann, Bill Ray, Scott, & their families,

Your mother was a Saint and her loving, kind, gentle, quiet way, was always comforting to me as a young boy when I would come stay with you during my family's visits to Arkansas.
My favorite memory of Aunt Juanita is trying to catch Bill Ray after he had misbehaved and he (with his red crew cut) was yelling "Now Mama", "Now Mama" and after she did catch him nothing much really happened.
We were all blessed to have had your Mom as a member of our family and Juanita was so good and loving to all.
My thoughts & prayers have been and will continue to be with you & your families.
God Bless you all!
