Dear Ron, Dave and Lou,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences at this time of great sorrow. We all have, and will continue to have very fond memories of your mom. Juanita was one of the pillars of the 59th Ct. group of families. Juanita really enjoyed keeping the landscaping around the Opalecky home "ship-shape". She was a daily presence out there in the back yard and in front of the house pruning, trimming and tidying up. May she rest in peace.
To this day...I still "Keep off the grass!!" when I walk on the sidewalk by her and Lou's house.

Sincerely,

Mike Hladik and the entire Hladik family

Dear Lou, Ron, Dave and family,
The entire Chlada family is saddened by the passing of your wonderful wife and Mom. Jaunita was one of the BEST ever in every way. Growing up on our block filled us with treasured memories and she was an awesome part of the 59th Court experience for all of us. We will miss her dearly.

Tom Chlada and family
