Gary, Rindy and family,
I am soooo sorry to hear of Juanita's passing. As we all know and believe she is in a much better place. I was fortunate to have had a chance to meet Juanita here in Zephyrhills and found her such a delightful lady. My prayers are with you all. God Bless

Juanita was my "mom" and I will miss her so very much.  We spent great times scrap booking, shopping for unneeded items, but always talked each other in to buying something.  The last 9 years I was able to spend lots of quality time with her, but not as much as we wanted.  We will have eternity to take time when I see her in Heaven.  I loved her beyond words.

Juanita was a special friend. We always had more to say to each other than time to say it. We said, "One day we'll be in heaven and can talk as long as we want."  Well, Juanita, you got there before me but I'm sure looking forward to those long conversations. She and Ben taught me so much about our Lord without saying a word. They just beautifully lived out their faith. I worked with them part time in the church office in Santa Maria. I owe them both so much. Blessings, dear friends.  CarolAnne

Juanita was my piano teacher for a number of years.  She was unfailingly patient in the face of teenage angst, and was a rock of faith for my mother in the midst of emotional upheaval.  I will always remember her with love.

I loved our time we spent together, talking and sharing. Juanita always made me feel very special and loved.  My heart was always encouraged after we talked. What a blessing she was to so many.

She was an awesome woman and encouraged me many times. I loved our times we spent together  talking and sharing.

What a treasure we have lost in Juanita.  Ben and Juanita were our pastors at Santa Maria First Nazarene.  I was Ben's secretary for several years and we loved both of them very much.  Juanita was a personal mentor to me.  She was a beautiful lady, inside and out, and she trained me for the position of Ben's secretary.  The deep truths she could extract from God's Word were wonderful.  Our condolences go to all of their children and their extended families.  We are out of the state and deeply regret that we are unable to attend Juanita's services.  It will be a glorious home going, we're sure.

What a blessing and encouragement Juanita was to both my wife Myrna and I. Her sweet spirit and loving way was a lift to our hearts each time we came to church. She will be missed.

Jim and Lois Ingalls want to wish our heartfelt sympathy to the family.  Juanita was a wonderful friend and a beautiful woman.  Ben and Juanita have been friends all thru the years and their great family.

I was so surprised to read of Juanita's Homegoing.  She and my wife Marge sang together in a trio at Olivet Nazarene University in 1943-45.  What a greeting Juanita will receive!   Marge passed away 11-20-12.  We were close friends of Ben and Juanita.  I offer my condolence to each of you in the family.  Ben and I were pastors together in Fresno.
