To Jenny's family,

I worked with Juanita at GMI for over 23 years. We traveled together on cruises and to her villa in Mexico with her and friends. I'll always remember her funny side,the laughter and the fun we had. Also, she had more energy than one person should be allowed. I'm sorry to hear of her passing. A memory is a keepsake of time that lives forever in the heart. May your treasured memories of Juanita bring solace during this time of loss.

With Sympathy,

Remembering you and “JENNY” in our minds and in our hearts. Lots of fun memories I have of your Mom she will be missed.
